5 Websites to use while job searching

1. Indeed.com
Indeed is one of the easiest to use job posting search engines out there. Not only does it collect postings from all major websites (Monster, Dice, Newspapers and company career pages), but it also lets you set up an automatic email to send you relevant postings based on keywords you specify.

2. LinkedIn.com
LinkedIn can be a great tool if you have a sizable network already. If that is the case, search by companies or positions you are interested in to find out who you know in those areas. Reach out to them for information that you are curious about and will help you made a decision for a particular company or industry. If you do not have a network in LinkedIn, I would not suggest adding people to your profile randomly. It is more effective to create a strong relationship prior to asking in depth questions. (More to come on when and how you should invite to connect with people on LinkedIn and create a solid network).

3. Careerbuilder.com
This is one of the older sites on the list, but it can still be helpful in their immense amount of professional articles (If for some reason this blog is not enough for you!). Check out Careerbuilder’s free resume critique!

4. Craigslist.org
Craigslist has always been a great resource to find jobs. It can take quite a bit of time to sift through the advertisements or fake postings, but companies have been using Craigslist more and more for job postings.

5. Glassdoor.com
Glassdoor is relatively new. This site has a number of company reviews and salary information for the top tech firms (more and more firms added daily). The only drawback here is that it is a “give to receive” model, so you need to fill out reviews before you can see them.
