Thanks Geek for posting this! I knew about all of them except Hound, MediaBistro and NationJob. Adding them to my list now.
1careerbuilder is awful, the only thing i ever got from them was spam.
idealist.org is great if you're looking for work in the non-profit or saving the world sector
2I love Yahoo! HotJobs. It's easy to use and I work for a company that found on me there.
3How is http://wwww.jobing.com not on this list? It's the best place to find a job.
4Just a note of caution with a sprinkle of advice
First, “Geek IS chic” and this Chic Geek's post is ABSOLUTELY correct: You CAN “do (you job search) from the comfort of your PJ's and wrapped in the loving arms of your couch”, nonetheless, Proceed with Caution and a little moderation won’t hurt either.
The Internet search using Job Boards et al is only ONE avenue in the blueprint (planning) of getting quality interviews and a new opportunity. A key to most successful job searches has often been simultaneously utilizing ALL your job search avenues - "marketing channels"; and too, being prepared to do what you may not want to do, i.e. cold calling and networking which means getting off the computer. In fact, I believe you have to be prepared to network 70% of the time to really be effective in your job search (that can be social networking too with portals like LinkedIn or on the sidelines of you daughter's Lacrosse game).
Beware of the Internet Job Search being too convenient - it can get very comfortable...TOO COMFORTABLE... and the next thing you know you may become complacent in your “busy work”, comfortably at home, working away at your computer, and weeks or even months may float by.
5You didn't mention SimplyHired. I didn't know about Hound...I'm going to check that out.
6I am using Hound.com from quite sometime.... It's simply outstanding among all...
Hound IS the hidden gem among online job boards, since they aggregate jobs posted on employers' actual websites, not pay-to-post sites like Monster and Yahoo.
7hi friends i thought that www.recruiterzine.com is the best site for job search. you can find all job openings
8You guys may also want to look into http://www.voolkan.com which is free and really easy to browse around. Most interesting, though, are some kind of career-matching features they offer. I think you need to apply to a certain number of jobs before it will start working for you, so I've got to send out a few more applications before it kicks in I guess--but it sounds like it could be cool.
9Thank you geeksugar for this post. It is so hard to find a job these days, with the economy as bad as it is. Hopefully after checking out all these sites I will find a job. Thanks again!!!!
10go to selectcandidates.com to send your resume
11I highly recommend Hound. Visit www.hound.com. They have unbelievable number of job listing even in this recession era. The reason is that they get unadvertised item from employers on their website. This site also give you updated market position and tips and advices on finding the suitable jobs for you. be you a fresh graduate from college or highly skilled professional with no. of years of experience, you all will find jobs fitting to your skillsets. try it.

13I've used all of these sites to create a search agent. They all send me jobs that aren't relavent to my skills. I tried www.hireflyer.com where I didn't need to build a resume and they don't collect any personal data so they guarantee anonymity. Took me about 30 seconds to create a search agent. Now I receive jobs via email, text message and directly to my facebook. I'll stick to HireFlyer.com.
14Waht about free classified sites for posting jobs
15sites like
www.craigslist.org
www.backpage.com
www.olx.com
www.stumblehere.com
www.beatyourprice.com
www.epage.com
www.oodle.com
www.webcosmo.com
The only problem with hound is that continually bill you until you quit. You cannot get just a short term membership. Even though they are a web based product you cannot email them with a cancellation you must call them on the phone and they are rude! So beware if you sign up make sure you cancel when you no longer want them or you will continue to be billed.
16Tried Hound for a couple months to see what type of results I got for sales jobs and honestly I did not feel it was worth the money. The job alerts for the most part were irrelevant and the jobs were no more exclusive than what you can find on free career search sites. I'd save your money.
