Useful Websites

Here are a few websites that you might find helpful in looking for a job

LDS Employment Resource Services The Church's job resource site.

careerbuilder is a general job search site with free tools and services.

Jobing.com is another job search website that is local to the Phoenix area.

Monster this is probably the largest and most popular job search website.

SimplyHired This is also a job search website that is very simple to use.

Glassdoor This is a website for anonymously sharing salary and management rating information. To get the information you need to share information. It can be useful for salary negotiation and expectations, and for gaining information that isn't generally publicly available.

LinkedIn Networking is the best way to find a job. More than 80% of all jobs are filled through networking before they are posted externally. LinkedIn is the best online tool I have seen for developing, maintaining, and using a network for referrals. Get as many of your contacts online with you and you will quickly see how many referral possibilities there are. If you've ever heard the theory of 6 degrees of separation you'll soon see how it is possible to be connected to millions of people very soon.

Hound Hound is a job search engine that searches company sites directly, before they move to Monster, Jobing, and other websites who charge employers for their services. If you want the information before the world knows about it, then a tool like this can give you a bit of an edge.
