If you are simply searching for job postings, these job search engine sites may be the way to go -- at least in terms of efficiency of your search. Remember, though, that to post your resume and to find industry-specific jobs or geographic-specific jobs, you will need to go to some individual job sites. Go to our Best Job Sites by Category. You'll also probably want to visit specific employer sites to learn more about corporate culture, mission, benefits, and more. See our Directory of Company Career Centers.

Finally, be sure and read our articles, Strategies for Finding Employment on the Internet and Quintessential Careers Reports on the State of Internet Job-Hunting.
