For those of us who are still obtaining degrees, on the brink of graduation and the entrance to the most dreadful 9 to 5, it's almost that time to start looking for work. It's no longer cool to walk from business to business with a resume in hand, in hopes that someone is hiring. There is a web full of opportunities, and most corporations are relying on the Internet to post their job openings. Here are a few helpful online job sites...
HotJobs.com and Monster.com
These are the most obvious online job sites. Though there are a lot of job postings on these sites, there are also a lot of scam jobs. Not to mention that everyone goes on Monster and Hot Jobs, so the competition will be pretty tough. Everybody and they momma will be applying to the job that you find interesting.
Job-hunt.org
Rated the best site for finding work by Forbes, this site doesn't play games. Not only does it have a large search engine for finding work, but it also provides job research help, online job searching basics (how to begin searching), and online resume advice!
Job-Central.com
This site is a search engine that searches through overs 2600 company/employer sites, then finds the appropriate postings and delivers them in daily e-mails and RSS feeds.
Indeed.com
This is another search engine that goes after postings not just on employer sites, but also on major job boards, blogs and newspaper and professional association listings.
Mediabistro.com
If you are interesting in media careers this is the site for you. You can find jobs in television, magazine publishing, pr/marketing, radio, online/new media, etc. Just a side not, Harpo Studios tends to post their job openings on here, so you know it's legit.
Idealist.org
This site is dedicated to nonprofit jobs.
Chronicle.com
If you check on the career page, there is a ton of information for those looking for work in higher education.
College/University online job boards
Also, utilize any online job postings that your school might have. These are great because the employers have established a relationship with your institution which means if your credentials are on point, you are likely to get hired over someone from another school. If you are out of school already, get a hook up and get one of your friends to search their university's job board for you.
Company sites
For the most part, every business has a website. So if you are interested in a particular company, simply search their site for job openings. If they don't list them on their site, they will more than likely direct you to the site where they list them.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR SEARCH!
