Job Searching from About.com

Like many other career and employment metasites, this one offers you articles on job searching, career choices, and links to employment sites. Unlike many others, it is operated by someone with a background in human resources and career services. Lots of great advice and resources, and you can even get into discussions with others or send the editor a question.

Career Websites for Graduate Students

...this is a searchable database of "annotated websites rated for relevance to graduate students" compiled by the University of British Columbia Career Services. While some of the links are specific to Canada, most are useful to all users. It is not a large database, so you can easily pull up all entries in the list (in alphabetical order) by leaving all options at "all" and merely clicking the "search" button. Each listing has a nice annotation telling you what you can expect to find at each site, it's good and bad points, plus a link to the site. Topics included in this list include all facets of the career and job search process, from self-assessment to making the transition to work.

Job Board Reviews

Yes, you can read what other job seekers and employers think of the various job boards. No, not everything is here and no, not everything has been reviewed, but many have. Might be worth a look.

Quintessential Career and Job-Hunting Resources Guide

...from the authors of Dynamic Cover Letters, this is a meta-guide to everything you need for your job search. From the initial "what do I want to do," this site gives you great information and resources from both off and online publications. Their job and career site lists are quite good, and if you have children looking for ideas, there is information here for them too.

Recruiter Resources Directory

This online portal is designed to be a one-stop resource for the recruiting, staffing, and HR industries. It also servers as an excellent source for the job seeker. The site includes links to job boards, job fairs, trade publications (most have job listings), and recruiting agencies (i.e., the recruiters). They also list recruiting associations -- those groups representing recruiters and often hosting searchable member directories online. My only complaint is they list a lot of categories with no content, but the assure me that you can submit resources to fill these. Meanwhile, enjoy this resource as much as the recruiters do. Developed and maintained by the Chicago Internet.

Employment and Work from Yahoo

I know you are all going to zero in on the Jobs section, but let me suggest you take a look at the Career Fields before you all go running off. This is the place where you will find those links for resources specific to Administrative Support, Architecture, Animation, Commercial Fishing, Pharmacology, Sports, and some other kinda, uh, different careers.
