Job Search Engines

Web sites such as Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com wouldn't exist if people didn't look for jobs by using their job search engines. You shouldn't rely on these job search portals as your sole job search resources, but they definitely should be included.

You should certainly try looking for jobs using job search engines provided by Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com, but don't dismiss niche and local job search engines. Advertising on specialized job search sites is generally cheaper, and job applicants that use these web sites tend to be qualified in their industry. Therefore, employers may not feel a need to post the job listing on a larger site.

A job search engine utilizes a program that searches a job database to deliver results that correspond to user-defined parameters. For instance, if a job search is entered as "Los Angeles" and "Marketing" as parameters, then the job search engine will list all the marketing jobs that are being offered in Los Angeles.

Although most popular job search sites, such as Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com, have become popular by virtue of the size their job search engine databases, they also have an always expanding menu of job search services. By providing more services, these large job search engines hope to attract more users to their web sites. In essence, Monster and CareerBuilder want to be viewed as "career builders," not "career finders."
