Monster

 It has been around since 1999, and it’s one of the biggest job sites around, with millions of openings. You’ll find every kind of job here, from entry-level positions to executive jobs in all the major industries. Monster also has loads of blue-collar listings, too – it’s not just about white-collar work.

 Monster is free to use, at least, and it’s very straightforward. You’ll only have to pay extra if you want to use the firm’s resume and cover letter writing services. Monster doesn’t have a huge range of features, but it does have a massive database of job listings in all industries, and it is easy to use. It might lack detail and finesse, but its sheer size makes it worth using.

 

 Getwork

Getwork was once known as Linkup, but nothing’s changed under the hood: this new job board is still built with speed in mind. It scours the web for new job listings and aims to upload them within an hour.

 Get work’s proprietary technology captures job listings from more than ten thousand different sites, you’ve got plenty of choice, and the site is straightforward to use, with a sleek interface that does a great job of presenting information. It’s free, although we’d recommend you create an account you can save job listings and create personalized alerts.
