Back in the Saddle - Landing Your Next Job - CareerEnlightenment.com

Where are the jobs?Hound.com â€" This is a different type of job search site from what I’ve reviewed in previous posts. Rather than listing jobs from recruiters or from other search sites, hound.com pulls jobs directly from employer career pages (their tag line Search Jobs Direct from Employer Career Pages). However, this is not free. The hound.com site charges a fee (based on the length of time you subscribe). Due to the fee, I’ve not fully reviewed the site, but there is a free video you can watch on the main page of the site.Job-Hunt â€" Job-Hunt is a free online search site that offers advice, job search news, and a comprehensive (and quite amazing) list of job search sites (categorized by location, networking, industry/profession, etc.). You could easily spend a few days leveraging the links from this site alone (and maybe you should). Unlike other search sites, it does not appear as if jobs are posted directly to Job-Hunt. Rather, it provides links to other sites that have posted jobs.Employersjobs.com â€" This is a free site that claims to link employers and candidates. The set-up is a 3-step process:   upload your resume/CV, create your profile (I don’t recommend entering your date of birth), and create email alerts. The password is assigned to you (you will receive it in an email). You can set up a job alert, but I’ve not been able to find out how to run it. If you try to edit the alert, you get an error. After creating an “advanced” search, specifically indicating the US and NY, it produced jobs only in York (the UK) and other UK locations. Clearly, this is a UK-based search site, which either needs additional work or should not show locations it cannot support.Trovix.com â€" Trovix, which is in beta (and is free), matches your “dream job” and your resume versus open jobs. It also looks like they are creating a social network (like LinkedIn) at the same time (but you can skip this step). When joining, the site analyzes your resume and some basic information (location and title). After analyzing your resume, the site asks you to confirm some basic information from your resume, then you complete the sign-up process. The site also lists several employers on the main page that are currently hiring. The matching seems to work well and is easy to use.Good luck in your search.
