Hot Jobs – Cool Site

admin — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 20:20:44 +0000

It’s been around for years, but sometimes you need a jolt to remind you. One of the larger sites in the online job field of course is HotJobs.com.

The site itself is a bit busy for my personal tastes. But that doesn’t mean you should post a resume and setup email job notices on it. Being a part of Yahoo!, Hotjobs has the reach that few online job sites can attain. HotJobs has partnered with many local newspapers to post job ads from the paper on the site. This gives very good coverage to local job opportunities that you may otherwise overlook in the other large employment websites.

If you’ve not already setup an account and posted your resume at HotJobs.com, take 15 minutes and get it done. The tools available for creating job email notices along with an ongoing count for employer resume views and times your resume turned up in an employer search is well worth it. The Hotjobs search is one of my favorite as you can pin point the area in which you are looking for a job. But it also allows you to narrow those results to exclude recruiter or employment agency postings as well as the ‘Nationwide Opportunity’ postings. The HotJobs search feature gets exactly what you’re looking for and can easily be saved as a email notice sent out daily.

Think local for the job search

While the mega job sites boast the amount of jobs they have, due to the costs employers face when posting on them, they do not offer good local coverage. If you are looking to find a job in another state this sites are likely to be a great resource. But most of us want to find work within a reasonable commute of where we are right now.

While sites like beyond do well in the local job market, the leader in free classified ads is really making noise in this niche. CraigsList.com started out in the San Francisco Bay area as a free local classified ads site and has grown to be an international phenomenon. Employers are starting to take notice of the opportunity to post help wanted ads target down to specific cities and even regions of a city. Since many of the cities Craigslist serves are free to post, you’ll find many small companies and ‘mom & pop stores’ with limited budgets posting job ads. These can be your best opportunity to find a rewarding position close to home.

On the downside of CraigsList, you’ll also find many scams, so tread carefully. The site does it’s best to eliminate blatant scams, but some may still sneak through. Craigslist also doesn’t have a way for employers to find you easily. this is why we still recommend posting your resume in several of the large and niche websites such as Job.com, Hot Resumes and Beyond.

The most obvious employment site on the web

It seems like a natural. If you want a job, you go to job.com. Registering as a member is your first step to managing your career. By registering and posting your resume, you will have access to premium services like instant salary data for jobs listed in our job search results and access to jobs from across the web listed on other job boards. If your resume is not ready to be posted, you may still register with Job.com However, only members that post their resume can be found by those recruiters and employers who are hiring.
