Job Search Sites

These are resources I've pulled together to support people in job searches. I divided the list into several categories, from the most general to the most specialized sites.

Basic Job Search
www.monster.com– the biggest job search site; has information on specific industries; also has lots of tips about how to prepare resume, cover letter and for interview
www.CareerBuilder.com– a mainstream site with all sorts of jobs
www.hotjobs.yahoo.com- another mainstream site (joint venture of Yahoo! and HotJobs – HotJobs no longer exists on its own)
www.craigslist.com- has a bunch of jobs, not terrifically well-organized, but still worth looking at
http://jobzone.promomagazine.com- everything with a focus on marketing and new media
www.simplyhired.com- collects jobs from a lot of different sites, so is a worthwhile central location; takes you to the site itself, so if it's a Ladders job, you'd still have to join and sign in
www.careerjournal.com- linked to Wall Street Journal, seems to draw mostly on other sites
www.jobs.myspace.com– jobs from the social networking site (powered by SimplyHired)
