I saw both web sites have job offers or show job openings in your area, did anyone have any luck using either of them?

Is it worth it to make a profile on either of them?

For the most part, they are pretty major legit sites...though you always have to

use some caution when someone is asking too detail of a personal information upfront.

Major sites aren't completely immune to frauds and scammers.

Depending on which field you are in there may be other more suitable job sites.

I'm in IT, and Monster is probably the best out there.

LinkedIn for sure! Make a good profile....it acts as your online bio/resume. Get people you have worked with to make recommendations....these act as your on online references.

It saves a couple of steps for potential employers....helps them to review you before interview and having to contact former employers. I get connected frequently through people on LinkedIn who have matched my skills and experience with an opening they are looking to fill.

Glassdoor I use more for reviewing the culture of companies I'm interested in.....reviews given by employees and former employees. If I don't like what I read consistently I usually don't interview at that company! Saves me time and drama!

I like Indeed.com most for overall job hunting as it collates jobs from all other major jobs boards. If you are in IT, the. Dice.com and Cybercoders.com are more specific to you!

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately I have no working experience, just some volunteering with kids in elementary school. My profile isn't going to look great. i was thinking of looking for something part time even, or following one of those courses to be able to file for taxes and whatnot. Anything that'd get my foot through the door...


What bothers me the most at some sites like those, is that they don't ever put the salary in most positions!

I've noticed that as well, but I guess if you get an interview it doesn't hurt to ask.

I had a lot of interest in resumes I posted on Monster and Indeed.

Glassdoor is good for checking out salaries and the culture of the companies you are interested in.

To be honest if you don't have any experience then a Linked In profile might not be the most useful thing in the world.
