The Best Websites for Job Search

UPDATED 7/28/20

I wanted to share with you my favorite websites for job search. The listing comes from a combination of personal research and client feedback. Nine of the sites are “all purpose”, while five are specific to defined job sectors. Sites are listed in alphabetical order, and they are all free of charge (although some have premium upgrades available).

The Websites

1) www.Careerbuilder.com 

2) www.Craigslist.com – Many jobs listed here are only listed here; the majority are relatively low-paying, quite a bit of spam.

3) www.Dice.com – I.T.

4) www.Glassdoor.com

5) www.Idealist.org – The best place to find job openings in the non-for-profit world)

6) www.Indeed.com

7) www.Linkedin.com

8) Mediabistro.com – Jobs in the communications and creative fields: journalism, design, PR, advertising, media

9) Monster.com – The Daddy of job sites

10) Simplyhired.com 

11) TheLadders.com – Jobs with salaries starting at $75,000 – $100,000.

12) Topschooljobs.org – Educatiom

13) USAjobs.gov – Government

Another excellent source for job openings in the DC / Baltimore area is the Brad Traverse Group (www.bradtraverse.com ) with many job listings for positions on the Hill, plus policy, communication and administrative jobs related to government. There is a $5 monthly fee.
