There are loads of sites out there related to job search, here’s a couple that I frequently recommend to others (in alphabetical order, not priority). I like these sites for both their intent and content.
Before I start my list, for all fellow finance colleagues I recommend Proformative.com as a way to stay current, ask questions of experts, etc. to help prep for networking and interviewing. Having used it myself, I can vouch for its effectiveness.
- Alison has been writing about job search for a long time and offers some great insight.
- Resources provided by people just trying to help people in transition - all free, all good
- A nice blog with good content – also a great selection of lists of people to follow on Twitter, etc.
- 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.
- This is a grass-roots organization that started life as JobAngels where volunteer ‘angels’ try to help someone in transition
- Sure it says ‘America’ – but it offers great content for job search that will work anywhere!
- 18,000+ links to job search related sites. When it comes to finding items related to job search – you’ve now found it. This is excellent for looking into specific states or industries.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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, so he has a good eye for what's going on in the market
Of course, there are loads more – but these will give you a good start!
Good luck today.
