JOB SEARCH WEB SITES

We naturally first think of looking for jobs online at the big job boards, like the top three: Monster,
(www.monster.com), HotJobs, (www.hotjobs.com) and CareerBuilder (www.careerbuilder.com)
America’s Job Bank ( www.ajb.dni.us )ranks #15 in traffic these days. Although these are great resources,
job seekers should not overlook the strategy of going direct to employers’ Websites to search for job
listings. Employers are motivated to post there first because it is free for them. Remember that employers
want to fill positions at the lowest possible cost. Every One-Stop center should have a list in every job
developer’s and case manager’s cubicle with the 10 largest employers in their area, and have links in every
browser program to their employment pages.

There are a couple of sites that can be helpful in searching employers’ Web sites. First,
http://www.flipdog.com/, is a site that gets its listings by “flip searching” the Web for jobs on
employers’ sites. The job listings found there are taken directly from the employers’ job listing pages. It is
also one of the most user-friendly of all job sites.

Second, http://www.directemployers.com/ is run by a consortium of major employers as a place for


jobseekers to access their job listing pages. This is a major site, with hundreds of major employers like
Home Depot, Honda, and Honeywell (just a small selection from “H”). The site has a good search tool, and
links directly to job listings on the employers’ Websites.

http://www.nextsteps.org/ is a wonderful career resource site. It has a comprehensive “Transferable


Skills” page, and has many other useful pages. Click on “Career Planning” under “Tools,” then on “Discover
Your Options.” You will find a page that leads to eight separate tools for self-assessment: Positive Attitude,
What Turns You On, What is Important to You, Lifestyle Values, Transferable Skills, Job-Related Skills,
Personal Traits, and Other Resources.
