The Top 75 Websites For Your Career. In early August, Forbes Leadership put out a call for nominations for our inaugural list of the best career websites, largely inspired by ForbesWoman’s annual list of Top 100 Websites For Women.
We endeavored to assemble a comprehensive guide to smart and engaging
sites. To accomplish this we challenged you, our readers, to submit your
picks for the best online destinations for interns, job seekers,
business owners, established professionals, retirees, and anyone else
looking to launch, improve, advance, or change his or her career.
We received a wealth of comments, emails and tweets with your
choices–about 1,500 of them, naming roughly 700 different websites. To
taper the list down to 75, my colleague Susan Adams
and I combed through the stack and hand-picked the sites we thought our
readers would find most compelling and useful for things like job
listings, facts and figures, and career insights and guidance.
Susan has written an accompanying post
with our picks for the ten best sites from our list of 75. She reminds
readers that while there are some great resources on the web, they
shouldn’t spend too much time on the Internet scouring listings, reading
career advice or blasting out their résumé. Especially for those in job
search mode, it’s better to spend time researching companies,
networking and meeting people face to face.
Our full list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career is not a ranking
and there are no winners or losers; it’s simply a compilation of
nominated sites that we believe deserve some special recognition. The
list includes blogs, job aggregators and boards, personal career
coaching pages, and traditional media outlets’ career sites that could
be useful to those in traditional 9 to 5 office jobs, Federal workers,
work-from-home professionals, entrepreneurs, college students and
retirees.
Here’s our first-ever list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career (in alphabetical order):
Owned by The New York Times, About.com offers a wealth of
free information for job seekers and those looking to advance their
careers, including articles about everything from how to get along with
your boss to questions not to ask an employer during an interview.
About.com also links to other sites focused on specific careers like
advertising or criminology, that have articles on topics like
copywriting or the day in the life of a police officer. Users can also
read up on the history of various fields, find a list of schools where
they can study for a particular degree, or peruse an article on the most
popular jobs in a given field. The site links to job listings powered
by Indeed.com. Job search and employment expert Alison Doyle has been
About.com’s job search guide since 1998.
This is the site for Betts Recruiting, which searches for talent for
the business side of venture capital-backed startups in New York City
and Silicon Valley. The focus is on sales, marketing and business
development staff from the junior level through vice president.
Co-founded by career coach Pamela Skillings, who used to work in
human resources at Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and MasterCard
International, Big Interview offers online interviewing tutorials where
users pay $197 for a package of three installments. Users can prep for
industry-specific interviews like pharmaceutical sales or advertising.
The prep involves an on-screen interviewer asking questions like, “tell
me about yourself,” and “why are you interested in this position?” The
user then records her answer and watches it back onscreen. The site
offers numerous tips for different stages of the interview process
(sample answer, in part: “I love managing teams and solving customer
problems.”)
Blogging4Jobs.com is an online workplace resource for managers,
leaders, human resources, and recruiting professionals. They take their
audience to “uncomfortable, yet necessary,” places exposing them to the
realities of the workplace without the “corporate sugar coating.” The
site was launched in 2007 with a goal of helping job seekers learn the
unwritten rules of job searching. The site has since expanded to offer
insights into the world of work from a corporate and operations
no-nonsense point of view.
Boomer Job Tops offers ideas, hints, tips and how-to’s for the
growing baby boomer population to help them find a job, win an interview
or move their career forward. The site has hundreds of articles from
experts in the career area on résumés, interviews, strategy and tactics
with a “boomer focus.”
CareerBliss is all about helping people lead happier lives by finding
happiness in the workplace. The job information-hub offers free
resources, like its “happiness assessment” developed by experts, a
database of 6.5 million salaries, 600,000 company reviews, and 3 million
job listings. Using its large database of reviews and survey results,
the site regularly releases lists like, “The Happiest For Working Dads”
and “The Happiest Companies to Work For.”
Founded in 1995, CareerBuilder is one of the biggest online job
boards. Its scope is international, with a presence in more than 60
markets worldwide. The site helps employers refine and target job
descriptions to attract talent. Users can post résumés on the site and
for a fee, get help writing résumés ($180-$300), cover letters ($50),
thank-you notes ($15) and compiling references ($10). The site also
offers paid online courses in different fields, like marketing and
dentistry.
