Job Search Sites

Job search sites are the quickest and most effective way of finding work. The days of circling ads in newspapers have thankfully been replaced by the power of today's modern job search sites.

Many job search sites will allow the job seeker to do some of the following:

1. Store your resume online. Typically this involves typing a history of your work experience, skills and education history into a form which the job search sites provide online. While your information is stored on the site, it does have the disadvantage that you lose all the formatting and layout attributes of your normal resume.

2. Apply for a job. Some job search sites include an [apply] button within their ads to contact an agent or employer about the ad. However, these are little more than clumsy form based emailing systems and having the agents email address in the ad for you to use yourself is always more useful.

3. Locate jobs which match your skill set. Job Search Express provides a search box where you can enter any of the keywords associated with the types of work which matches your skills. For example, you can enter "nurse", "data entry", or "programming" to find which ads contain these terms. This keyword search facility is not only powerful but very effective in narrowing down a large database of jobs to find the few which match your skills directly.
