Best place to search for jobs?

I have been in the same job for 9 years. I have been looking on sites like the local newspaper, craigslist and monster, and have found that a lot of the sites I'm searching have a lot of "spammy" job "opportunities."  My administration just told us they are laying off 400 employees where I work, and having only 9 years in means I'm pretty low on the totem-pole.

In general, what are the best job search sites to look at when trying to find a new job?

TIA!

Re: Best place to search for jobs?

  • Careerbuilder.com I've heard good things about.

    Start networking with people in your field and see what's out there.

  • My favorite job search engine by far is Indeed.com. Good luck!

  • indeed.com is great.  I also recomend linkedin.com

  • Indeed.com as well... it's the google of job websites.

    Don't forget to put the word out there you are looking- friends, family, church, neighbors, etc. They may be the ones with an inside somewhere, especially if a job posting is not advertised. Maybe keep a few resumes handy for spur of the moment convos?

  • Indeed for sure. I actually found my job on the company's website. Actually most of the jobs I interviewed for I applied through the company website. I'd make a list of companies you'd like to work for and go on the site to search the "Careers" section. It worked for me!
  • Another vote for Indeed.com.  Love that site!  And I agree w/pp about networking with people you know.

  • Great- thank you! I will definitely start hunting on Indeed.  I've put the word out and have contacted a relative who is a business owner and is actually looking for a project manager- I'm just having a difficult time thinking about working for this relative- it is a great opportunity, and right now beggars can't be choosers, but it still makes me wary. 

    Thank you all for the wonderful advice- I really appreciate you responses!

    I say careerbuilder, monster; and company websites.  Indeed is great; however sitting on the other side being a recruiter it can be frustrating because they pull from other sites I post on such as Monster/Careerbuilder which is great; however they are not so diligent in removing and updating posts so I often get calls from people who come across a position on indeed and it has already been filled. :)

  • Indeed is definitely the way to go for searching.

    I got my current job networking on LinkedIn.

  • I usually start on Indeed, then search out the company and apply directly through the company's website. I also sort by date on Indeed instead of by relevance (because sometimes the very first listing on a "by relevance" search is 30+ days old). Both of those things should help with the issue PP mentioned of applying to jobs that are no longer available!
