Job Boards - Some to Check Out

These job boards are a consensus among the group of the “best” job boards. Remember, there are multiple career specific job boards available –search for them on the Internet and USE them!

CareerBuilder.com
Career Builder is the largest of the job search boards. The site has 23 million unique visitors monthly and posts over one million jobs worldwide. It is an easily searchable database, and users can post a resume to be found by prospective employers. A job seeker can also create an automated alert to be notified of positions in their area of interest and within specific geographic parameters.
Indeed.com
The cleanest entry of all of the job search boards, Indeed aggregates from multiple employers and other boards. Like all of the large search boards, be sure to check out the “tips” section. Indeed is indeed a robust search engine, and allows a job seeker to create an automated alert to be notified of positions in their area of interest and within specific geographic parameters.
Hotjobs.com
Powered by Yahoo, this site also lists thousands of jobs. Its page is chattier than Career Builder, and also gives the user lots of options to go elsewhere in the yahoo world. It allows all of the services of the big boards, job alert, saved searches, resume posting, and lots of job search tips.
CalJobs (caljobs.ca.org)
This is the board powered by the state unemployment office. It contains useful information, but is somewhat limited in its search flexibility. The job descriptions are a bit difficult to read through, but if there is a position of interest, the site moves you quickly to the hiring company’s site. Another negative for those willing to drive a bit further is that the positions listed are only listed one county at a time, making navigation a bit slower. However, the positions listed are current, and there are jobs posted on the site not found elsewhere.
LinkedIn (linkedin.com)
If a job seeker is actively maintaining their profile on LinkedIn, this site lists positions not found elsewhere. In addition, since you are already on LinkedIn, take advantage of its ability to help you find people in the company of interest. LinkedIn is the professional job seekers and professional networkers gold standard.
BAJobs.com
This board posts jobs specific to the Bay Area. The site is sponsored by local Bay Area companies. It is well worth having in your weekly arsenal of job boards to review.
SnagAJob.com
This job board is specifically designed for hourly employees. The only caution is to pay attention to a fairly significant number of commission-only positions. Several employers like Sears and Jiffy Lube almost always have positions posted, and for entry level or college students, this is a great source.

The following 2 job boards charge a fee and are for job seekers willing to pay for more exclusive listings.
