The Best Job Sites
_

The best job sites are far and few. There are many, many out there, but few actually have real content to help you in your entry level job search. Here is our list of the top four:

  • CollegeGrad.com CollegeGrad.com is ranked the number one entry level Web site in the world (by Google, Yahoo and Alexa) with more entry level career information than any other site on the Web. The site has won more Web awards (over eighty) than any other career site. There is information on job postings (over 100,000), entry level employers (over 1,000), resumes (over 200 templates), career info (more than 350 careers), salary info (for more than 1,000 occupations), and more! There are other entry level sites out there, but theyre either too small or closed access (i.e., you need a user ID and password to access jobs only for your school), which limits what you can view. CollegeGrad.com is by far the largest and broadest entry level job site. If you havent seen all the information at CollegeGrad.com, its time to take a look!
  • Monster.com Monster definitely has plenty of jobs. More than 1,000,000 at last count. But many of these are posted by recruiters and are not real jobs at real companies. The problem with this is sorting through all the clutter jobs as well as the entry level need not apply jobs to get to the ones that truly matter. Monster.com is the 800-pound gorilla of the job search space and they act like it.
  • Yahoo! HotJobs Yahoo! HotJobs is organized by job categories, which allows you to drill down quickly to the specific job type or industry you are seeking. Its important to note that there is not a large amount of overlap between Monster.com and HotJobs, both in terms of job postings and candidate registrations, so its worth a visit.
  • CareerBuilder CareerBuilder is owned by three of the major newspapers (Tribune, Gannett and McClatchy) to combine both online and offline (print) job postings. They generate a large amount of their traffic through partnership links with other sites (such as AOL and MSN).

Dont get blown away by the sheer immensity of the number of jobs and the exhaustion level you might encounter in attempting to sift through jobs, especially at The Big Three. Once you have a clear focus on what you are looking for, set up a job search agent at CollegeGrad.com as well as The Big Three. That way, you will get an e-mail whenever a new job is posted that meets your specific criteria. But make sure your job search agent is specific enough so that you dont get inundated with useless job postings which do not meet your needs. Do not worry if you get it wrong the first time you set up your job search agent, since you can always change it in the future.
