Are you looking for a job online? Do you need to know what the best job search engines are? Here are the top three job search engines and a strategy that will help you expand your online job search.

 

Engine #1

 

Monster comes in first because they are the largest and provide the best resources. You can post your resume for employers and search for jobs that are listed.

 

Engine #2

 

Careers is the second stop on your search because they are more local oriented than most of the other search engines. They offer a different site for each major city in the United States. Many employers prefer careers.com because they are so localized and provide hot leads for employers. You can post your resume and search jobs in your field at careers.com

 

Engine #3

 

Hotjobs, which is powered by Yahoo!, is your last stop on the online job search train. They provide quite a few great job listings and are very easy to use. They are not as big as Monster.com or as localized as Careers.com, but you never know where you might find that perfect job.

 

There is another strategy to finding a job that works very well. Use Yahoo.com’s local search and search for companies in your field. Then, visit their website and email them your resume. You could also mail it if they don’t have a website listed. This is a great way to get your resume in front of employers that have yet to place their employment ads or might be looking for someone, but don’t have an ad out there.
