Top job sites and boards

Recently, I was given a project at work to research on different job websites or boards out there as my company will be hiring tech people for full time, contract and temp work soon. My list is not inclusive. My research is still ongoing but I thought it will be a great service to share this list to those who are currently looking for a job. 

Feel free to comment or suggest any other job sites that you have used successfully in the past. In turn, you'll be helping me too :)

This list is not in any order.

  1. Tweetmyjobs.com - a free service that connects job seekers with job openings. TweetMyJobs is affiliated with the National Career Development Association as well as the Professional Association of Resume Writers & Career Coaches.
  2. LinkUp.com – a job search engine that gives you the ability to search more than 20,000 company websites from a single location. A search under technology in a specific area code, for example, could be a good start for finding tech jobs in your area.
  3. Indeed.com – a job search engine that enables users to find jobs posted on thousands of company career sites and job boards. Indeed has been recognized by Time magazine, PC Magazine and PC World for its capabilities.
  4. SimplyHired.com – a job search engine that allows searches by title, category, company, location and so on. You can save your searches for future reference and set up e-mail alerts to notify you when new jobs are posted.
  5. CareerBuilder.com - dedicated job site that allows you to search for job openings by location or job category (i.e. engineering, finance, information technology, etc.). Employers are able to search the site for candidates as well. So having a resume ready at a moment’s notice is important.
  6. Monster.com - a premier provider of employment solutions. You can search for jobs as well as post your resume for employers to find. Monster has several online communities that offer support and information in targeted job categories such as InsideTech for the technology industry and ManagerLink for management and leadership development.
  7. Dice.com - one of the larger job boards, and lists mostly technical positions. There is a focus here on all types of technical openings - regular, full time, part time and contract work are all listed here.
  8. SmartBrief.com - an organization specializing in industry and function-focused electronic newsletters, also offers the opportunity to post jobs and look for jobs. Jobs are organized in industry job boards that are further parsed. If you have a very targeted search, for example a position specifically in telecommunications, SmartBrief has job boards in that particular industry, in this example, CTAM and CTIA.
  9. LinkedIn.com - gives you the ability to search for jobs, and, if you're an employer, the opportunity to search for candidates. LinkedIn recently added a resume builder tool that allows you to import your profile into one of several template options and then customize it.
  10. Jobs.Mashable.com - provides listings for the latest social media and web job opportunities. It’s easy to search, and it not only provides full-time positions but sometimes harder to find contract, temporary and internship opportunities. You can subscribe to job listings via RSS, as well.
Note: I was not compensated for this post in any way.
