That would be the specialty job boards. While they don't have the marketing flash of a Monster.com Superbowl ad, or claim to index 10 billion job postings--specialty or niche job boards are an important piece of the job search puzzle. Their limited scope makes them better vehicles to refine your search based on your specific skills or experience. You also can find high quality listings that are less trafficked (meaning less people apply and that means you'll get noticed easier) than the major job boards.
Here are five sites you need to consider during your overall job search:
- www.recruitersonline.com: A site dedicated to recruiters, but also where you can post your resume directly on the site and put your resume in front of thousands of recruiters--many whom have jobs which are not posted on other job boards.
- www.dice.com: A great site specializing in tech jobs. But you don't have to be a computer nerd to apply, They also list the major tech company's entire job postings with support and HR jobs as well.
- www.theladders.com: A site intended to match high quality job seekers with six-figure jobs. If you have an in-demand skill set or management experience, this could be the place for you.
- www.workinretail.com: Even if an hourly retail job doesn't appeal to you, use this site for management-level positions at major retailers or for a quick part-time job.
- www.financialjobs.com: Self-explanatory. Financial jobs for those who are in the field already or wish to work for a bank, securities company, etc.
