Posted by SmartBlogger2

Looking to start a new Jobs.com search? This is the place to start!

There are lots of Job sites out there. In fact, some studies show over 40,000 in the US alone.
There are niche job boards, by geographic area (ie local job boards), industry specific job boards (ie marketing, accounting, sales, engineering, etc), and there are national sites. There are even trade association sites, like the National Association of YOUR industry. There are also local chapters of the national associations.

By using a combination of niche Job sites and major sites, will usually provide a good basis to start with.

After one of the major Job sites reported a major security leak in 2007, you may have become a little bit wary about putting your resume online.

There are many reasons NOT to put your resume online. Depending on your unique situation, this may be the case. But for most people, putting your resume on multiple websites will only help your chances of a recruiter finding you. For other concerns, there are steps that many job boards provide, to eliminate many of the concerns that you might have.

You could always just not put your resume on the Internet, right?

Well sure, but that’s going to put you at a pretty big disadvantage., as a lot of recruiters use the Internet to find candidates, and if it’s not there, they can’t find you.

It’s much easier if the recruiters can find you!
They might be able to tell you about unadvertised jobs.
If that’s the case, you want to be able to be easily found.

Always make sure that you feel confident before you post a resume to a website. Read their privacy policy carefully, primarily to figure out where they may repost your resume, or who they may sell it to.

Job boards want your resume- it’s a large part of how they make money- so any one that’s any good will accommodate your requests without a problem.

Once you’ve done your research and are confident that the Job sites ‘ privacy policy is sufficient, you must be careful when applying during your Internet Jobs search and replying to emails.

Job sites do a lot to ensure that only valid jobs are posted but it’s impossible to monitor every job manually, and inevitably, some jobs will make it “past the filters”.

You must vigilant, and keep a jaded eye out for fishy emails or jobs that sound too good to be true.

Under no circumstance should you ever give your personal information such as your bank account number, drivers license number, or Social Security number, to anyone until you are well along in the application process.

This information should only be if you have filled in a legal application with the company, and signed a release for them to check your driving record, or do a background check.

If you do get a scam or “phishing” type of email, try to figure out what Job sites the person found you on, and then contact that job boards customer service to let them know.
It’s in everyone’s best interest for you to let the Job sites know as soon as possible. Give them as much information about the person who contacted you.

If you find fraudulent looking job postings, report them to the job board customer service team. The more aware the Job sites are of false leading ads, and potential rip-offs, the better job they can do to prevent them in the future.

By knowing where your resume is posted, you can help keep yourself and your personal information safe while conducting a search for jobs.com.
