Glassdoor.com is also a great website to do company research. It has employee reviews (like product reviews) which give you a real world analysis of the company from insiders. It lists the salaries of each companies positions entered by the employees themselves. It also lists interview questions. You can get email newsletters with info about your company you’re working for.

my suggestion would be dice.com if you are looking for tech jobs…or monster.com for any job.

R.–

Is there a particular site that you would recommend for posting resumes? I’ve never posted my resume before but setting up a new account solely for the purpose of job hunting sounds like an excellent idea!

Indeed.com is excellent, although you have to know what you are looking for and structure your queries appropriately.

CAUTION: A drawback to posting resumes on these job boards is spam and scams. Use an alias account or just set up a new account solely for the purpose of job hunting.

Craigslist actually was the best resource for me (Chicago, IL). Not as much traffic as the main boards but for IT professionals there are some solid listings. From Craigslist, hands down received most responses and interviews. My current job was a listing on Craigslist for a company on Michigan Ave [Magnificent Mile].

http://www.vault.com is a wonderful site to do a research about companies…i also try to do a bit of a research about the person in linkedin.com and in http://www.google.com who is going to interview me (recruiters usually tell the names..at least in my case!)

For those interested in federal government jobs, I would recommend reading Federal Resume Guidebook by Kathryn Troutman. The information they are looking for in your resume is different than what you would put in a traditional resume and you also need to answer specific questions about your qualifications and experiences. I applied for a lot of federal government jobs before someone told me about this book. After reading it and following the tips, I applied for one job and I got it.

Honestly, this is probably one of the worst lists I’ve seen online. C’mon, what about Indeed and other hourly sites like SnagAJob?

C’mon Jim, you’re a fan of putting an affiliate link in everyone of your post, why not posts those and add more money?

In certain cities of Craigslist, it has legit job ads; but handful from recruiters. In popular markets, such as NY, SanFran, Boston, and few others, the craiglist employment ads cost the poster ~$25 for a 7-14 day posting. As mentioned, INDEED. should’ve been reviewed and included in the body of text above! Dont forget industry-specific websites or associations; they have career listings.

The employment ads on craigslist for my area (Savannah, GA) are nothing but spammers and scammers. There used to be legit job listings there, but no more!

Indeed.com is one of the best. I also think Craig’s List is a great place to look for jobs but you have to exercise caution. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

The best way to find a job is by networking. Tell everyone you know (your parents, your siblings, your relatives, your friends and their friends, your church members, your neighbors, etc.) that you’re looking for a job and what type of job you’re looking for.

Also, some advice on applying for jobs online: If you’ve applied for 75+ jobs and haven’t heard back from a single company then something is probably wrong. You may need to re-do your cover letter, resume, or the way you fill in those (terrible) online applications.
