Top Ten Job Search Sites for Marketers

The first line of offense for finding a new job are working the job listing websites. Applying to these sites are like playing lotto. You are one of a million people sending in your resume through this channel. If you resume gets noticed its a mini-miracle. But just like lotto, "you have to be in it (to win it)."

If you don't know someone on the inside...This method of applying is better than nothing.

Here are some of the sites that I found:

1) INDEED.com
This site lists jobs posted on thousands of company career sites and job boards. It is a wonderful research tool and starting point for job hunting. It's simple, easy layout is easy to read and navigate.

2) MarketingSherpa.com
Marketing Sherpa is well known in the marketing industry and in addition to job listings, this site offers marketing case studies and reports that keep you on top of what is going on in the real world.

3)MediaBistro.com
This site is dedicated to media professionals. The site is simple, but another resource.

4) SocialMediaJobs.com.
If you are into social media, like I am, this is a site to look at. I didn't see a lot of listings for New York, but you never know.

5) MarketingHire.com.
This site is for marketing professionals.

6)Monster.com.
We all know this site...its a leader in the job search market.

7)JobFox.com.
This is the newest site out there. It has a thorough sign up process that goes through each aspect of your resume. Pushes for an membership to the site, but again, just another resource.


8) Linkedin.com
This is a social networking site but it also includes job listings. You can use your network to help you make your valuable connections.

9) Facebook.com
Yes Facebook. What's to stop you from adding a status of " I am looking for a job in xxxx. Does anyone know someone who works at yyy?"


10) CareerBuilder.com
This site is owned by Gannett Co, Inc., Tribune Company, The McClatchy Company, and Microsoft Corp. It offers a vast online and print network to help job seekers connect with employers.


Realistically, you shouldn't use these sites as your only strategy for finding a job, but rather use them as a research tool to find what is out there.
