View from CandidatesChair.com – Useful Job Search Sites

There are loads of sites out there related to job search, here’s a few that I frequently recommend to others (in alphabetical order, not priority). I like these sites for both their intent and content.

http://www.alisondoyle.typepad.com/
• Alison has been writing about job search for a long time and offers some great insight.

http://www.back-2-work.com/
• Resources provided by people just trying to help people in transition

http://www.businesscard2.com/
• Creates a virtual business card that can sit ‘above’ all of your social networks – allows you to attach
documents (resumes, references, proof of work, etc.).

http://www.careerrocketeer.com/
• This blog has great content - but also some excellent lists on who to follow on Twitter, etc.

http://www.careersuccessradio.com/
• More proof that networking is an international exercise - AnneMarie Cross and Keith Keller are career coaches from Australia. They have an amazing set of interviews on the site.

http://www.jobangels.org/
• This is a grass-roots organization where volunteer ‘angels’ try to help someone in transition

http://www.jobtalkamerica.com/
• Sure it says ‘America’ – but it offers great content for job search that will work anywhere!

http://www.job-hunt.org/
• 15,000 links to job search related sites. When it comes to finding items related to job search – you’ve now found it.

http://www.ilostmyjob.com/
• Besides a very ‘on point’ website name – this is loaded with videos – so gives you a break from reading, but no loss in the value of the content!

http://www.linkup.com/
• I did not think there was a new twist to job boards – I stand corrected. Linkup takes jobs from only corporate web sites. As a seeker, these are real jobs. Nice. For now, it’s primary markets are the U.S. and U.K.

http://www.thewisejobsearch.com/
• Harry Urschel is a recruiter who writes this blog – besides having lived through his own transition, he has been deeply involved with a job transition group.

http://www.twitjobs.net/ (Okay, you are here - you know it has value!)

Of course, there are loads more – but these will give you a good start!

Good luck today.
