This list features online web resources and community resources for job searching and advancing your career.
CareerBuilder
CareerBuilder has two big points in its favor: Size and longevity, as it’s one of the biggest and longest-lived job boards on the internet. Its robust search function allows you to filter by several criteria, including location, job title, and pay range. The site uses Google AI to help match job seekers with suitable opportunities and provides career advice and resources for job candidates. For employers, monthly subscription plans can aid in candidate searches with targeted recruitment emails, candidate management tools, and more.
Glassdoor
Glassdoor not only lets you search for jobs, it also allows people to review companies they’ve worked for and share salary and benefits information, giving insight that job seekers wouldn’t otherwise know. Professionals who have interviewed with a company can also give details on the business’s recruiting processes. While all this information should be taken with a grain of salt, it can be quite revealing. On the hiring side, Glassdoor allows employers to identify job candidates and market their companies to job seekers.
Google for Jobs
Google for Jobs collects job listings from sites across the web, including several of the ones listed in this handout. Use it just like you use Google. From their same main search page, you can search for key phrases like “accounting jobs” to get a list of available positions. Results also show company ratings and salary information for the position, if available. If something catches your eye, click a button that reads, for example, “Apply on LinkedIn” to go directly to the source of the job listing and apply. One key benefit of Google for Jobs is that it eliminates redundant results and displays only one listing for each open position.
Indeed
In addition to employer-posted jobs, Indeed collects postings from across the web and allows you to search locally or globally. Indeed hosts more than 150 million resumes and claims that 10 new jobs are added to its site every second, globally. Free resources for job seekers include a resume builder tool and career blog.
LinkedIn
This top networking site allows you to find jobs not only through direct employer listings but also through communication with your extended network. Your profile serves as your resume, and you can easily find and share career-related content, dive deep into leadership posts from prominent people in your field and solicit or supply recommendations. Additionally, industry groups allow you to participate in professional discussions and follow companies you find interesting—and relevant—to your job search.
Resume Builder
A free online resource that helps build resumes and cover letters.
SimplyHired
SimplyHired is a job search site that collects listings from all over the web, including company career pages, job boards, and niche job websites. The company reports that it lists job openings from 700,000 unique employers and operates job search engines in 24 countries and 12 languages. Employers might want to note that the site sends your job posting to over 100 job boards for increased visibility.
Vocational Rehabilitation Center
The Vocational Rehabilitation program helps people with disabilities prepare for, find, or retain employment and helps youth and students prepare for post-secondary opportunities. The program also helps businesses and employers recruit, retain, and accommodate employees with disabilities.
