Archives for Job Boards

A site called Job Profiles recently published a list of 100 specialty job boards apparently to help recruiters hunt for qualified job seekers in a dozen different fields.

True, that doesn’t cause my pulse to race either.

Yet, for job seekers, specialty boards may be an essential place to promote your resume. Think about it: you’re a bigger fish in a much smaller pond.

Personally, I also think you should participate in the Monster, HotJobs and Career Builder sites too. Because, after all, why not? These are passive approaches and the odds strongly suggest that you will need to take other steps as well to get hired.

I also advocate looking for work on social networks, too, but that’s a bit trickier and a discussion for another day (or two).

Job Profiles culled boards in these fields: Design; Healthcare; Advertising and Marketing; Technology; Management; Finance; Sales; Education; Office; Retail and Customer Service; Legal; and my personal favorite, Miscellaneous.

While I was nosing around on Job Profiles, I stumbled upon this headline: Screw Pleasing Your Parents: 11 Careers That Will Make You Happy. The list speaks truth: journalist is on it. And, yes, my dad wanted me to go into business.

There doesn’t seem to be a job board yet for bloggers, but I haven’t lost faith. Si se puede.
