#6 Simply Hired
“Looking for a job shouldn't be a full-time job! That's why we built
the biggest, smartest job search engine on the web. We search thousands
of job sites and companies, so you don't have to,” the site states.
Besides making things easy, Simply Hired also connects your social

notes about jobs you've viewed; and block specific companies or sites
from showing up in your searches. Simply Hired's frequently updated blog

#5 LinkedIn
This largest network of professionals in the world sure is a place to
hunt for a job. As a LinkedIn member, you'll join 225 million other
professionals who are sharing connections, ideas, and opportunities. So
your profile is essentially your résumé, listing all your work
experience and skills, and connecting you with contacts. Employers can
list jobs on the site to recruit the best candidates, the listings are
available for you to search, and of course, it's a great site for
investigating potential employers. Some companies will let you apply
with nothing more than your LinkedIn profile. If you see one of your
LinkedIn connections is LinkedIn with someone at a company you're
applying to, you can ask them to introduce you. LinkedIn's ability to
connect you to others in your field (and beyond) makes it arguably the
strongest job search weapon in your arsenal.
#4 Craigslist
The site hosts local classifieds and forums - community moderated, and
largely free.Jobs, housing, goods, services, romance, local activities,
advice - just about anything really. Though you can't sign up for email
updates or post your résumé—but Craigslist certainly has plenty of jobs
to offer and it specializes in finding openings in your vicinity.
Listings aren't pulled in from other aggregator sites; they're all
individually posted by employers. Jobs categories can be pretty broad
though, so the downside is you may have to look harder to find that
perfect position.
#3 Monster

launched almost 20 years ago. Internationally known and highly regarded,
it lists hourly, part-time, and full-time jobs in practically every
career field. But it's more than just a search site; Monster also
provides tons of articles with advice for getting the most out of your
job search, your résumé, interviews, and your career. The privacy
feature that blocks specific companies from seeing your résumé is a
lifesaver if you don't want your current employer to know you're looking
for a new job. Monster is also the owner of the BeKnown service/app for
Facebook, which puts your job search front and center on the world's
biggest social network.
