not all job search sites are created equal...
Edited on Fri Feb-20-09 01:09 PM by ProgrezivIndie
some cater to high salary white collar, some simply list stuff one would typically find in a local newspaper.

i've put each of these to a hypothetical test (keyword "carpenter" zip code "34232")... and got varying results:

http://www.alljobsearch.com

http://www.careerbuilder.com

http://www.craigslist.org

http://www.federaljobs.net

http://www.indeed.com

http://www.juju.com

http://www.monster.com

http://www.snagajob.com

http://www.usajobs.gov

If anyone has more good resources, please ADD them to this list (I've already put such a list of "links" on my home page, but will add to it, based on INPUT here).

Thanks!

1. Most of them are pay to play - they don't actively seek out listings.
In other words, people have to think about posting to these sites - and then pay the associated fees, if any - in order to have the job listed. To that end, you will always have varying results. In my experience, trade specific publications tend to be the best sources.
