Whats Your Job Board - CareerAlley We may receive compensation when you click on links to products from our partners. So many job boards, so little time! As Ive mentioned in previous posts, the goal is not to sign-up with every job board and every recruiter. Even though I am a fan of a broad based marketing campaign, you should limit the resources used to those job boards which cover your industry/field. Todays post will cover generic job search sites not previously covered on CareerAlley. Juju.com This sites main screen has a simple interface with a basic keyword/location search screen. There is an Advanced Job Search link as well as links by category, location, company and keyword. Juju searchs for job across company career sites and job boards. There is no resume posting, no registration and no ability to add saved search criteria with job alerts. As an example, a basic search of Finance jobs in NY returned over 5,000 jobs which can be sorted by date, relevance or distance. 4jobs.com Get Your Career on the Fast Track is the tag line for this job search board. The site provides for job seeker registration and resume posting. In addition to job search, the site provides career resources, articles and advice. There is a simple job search function on the main page with Advanced Search, Search by Company and Job Search Directory which provides search by industry and state. Using the same search criteria as used for Juju (Finance in NY) returned 454 jobs (only 10% of what came up in the Juju search). Fresho Jobs The main page on this site is similar to many of the newer job boards. It has a clean and simple interface on the first page with the basic keyword/location search bar. You can sign-up/register for the site, although there is no option to upload your resume. Signing up does allow you to save your searches and create alerts. The main page also has links to popular industries. The site is still in beta test and this is a good thing since my initial search on Finance jobs in NY returned 8 (versus over 5,000 for juju.com and indeed.com had over 12,000). Nationjob.com -This is an interesting site with many options. You can click on the Communities tab for a listing of States with additional drill-downs to cities and the featured jobs in that city. Clicking on Industries provides the same functionality with jobs by type. The main page also has the basic search criteria as well as a list of featured employers. Lastly, there is a Personal Job Search Assistant function called PJ Scout which will personalize your search. The site also provides job job alerts. You will find that some job board sites are not worth your time for various reasons. Maybe the site is not robust enough or does not serve your industry/market. Whatever the case, dont waste too much time on the low value sites. more 27 Job Search Boards! Good luck in your search. Visit me on Facebook
