About Us

We have an agreement with our visitors to list only the best job sites that we can find.

Here, you will find no "work at home and make millions" scams; we carefully screen the sites that appear here, and revisit all of them on a regular basis to ensure that our recommendation is not misplaced.

We are attempting to bring only the best advice and resources to your attention. You may find longer lists of job sites, but you won't find a better selection of job sites or sounder, more sensible advice and guidance.

When evaluating Web job sites, we look for:

• A posted Privacy Policy that explains to visitors what information is collected and how the information is used, particularly information that identifies specific individuals.
• A "sizeable" collection of job opportunities, depending on the market covered. It's easier to have thousands of jobs at a general "Employment Super Site" than at a site focused on a specific type of job (e.g. midwives, for example), so the definition of sizeable will vary.
• "Fresh" opportunities. Some "evergreen" requirements may be 90 days old, but many more need to be fewer than 10 days old.
• Privacy protection for job seekers so that a job seeker may look for a job without putting his or her identity or existing job at risk.
• Fully-functional Web site, with all pages present and working as described and expected.
• A focus on actually helping people connect with jobs. Some sites seem more interested in collecting e-mail addresses and other information to sell to advertisers.

12 Things to Avoid in Your Job Search

Many employers do searches for their employees' resumes in the job site resume/applicant database and/or the search engines. Those employees' jobs are at risk when their resumes are found! Keep reading ››

Techniques for Tapping into the Hidden Job Market

Professional and industry associations and societies are usually plentiful and very useful for job seekers. They can be the key to a shorter job search next time by expanding your personal network.

They can help you in more traditional situations when you add the association's name to your resume (in a professional or industry affiliations category, for example), and that name is used as a keyword by a recruiter searching through an applicant database on a Web search engine. Keep reading ››

The Internet Resume

Yes, you can make a razzle-dazzle resume Web page, but... yellow letters on a dark navy blue background may look great to you, but your resume probably won't be very legible when printed (and it will be printed some time). The animated pooping bull or the fluttering butterflies may amuse your friends, but it probably won't impress many employers unless they are relevant to the job opportunity. Keep reading ››

Online Job Search Privacy

Web job sites generate revenue by selling "employers" access to their resume databases. Access is usually sold to anyone who can pay the price, with minimal screening done to ensure that the purchasers actually have jobs to fill.

So, your complete work history, education, and contact information are available to anyone who can pay the access fee -- employers, recruiters, sales people, scammers, identity thieves, etc. What are the risks of not protecting your privacy? Keep reading ››
