5 Alternative Ways to Find a Job Online

Written by Darren Hewer

helpwantedIf you are one of the millions of people who have lost their jobs recently, you’ve no doubt tried searching popular job websites like Monster or CareerBuilder. However, there are many other job search resources available on the web. Here are some websites you may not have tried:

Meta-Job Searches
Why search just one site when you can automatically search multiple job sites at once? Indeed.com (Indeed.ca in Canada) returns job listings at several job sites and individual companies’ listings automatically.

Contract Jobs
Consider a different type of employment: Use your skills and earn money with contract work. Project4Hire.com is a great source for general contract jobs, while ELance.com is the site of choice for IT/coding/tech jobs. Meanwhile if you’re handy with arts & crafts, you can sell your work on Etsy.com.

Non-profit/Charity Jobs
Help others and get paid for it by working for a non-profit. In Canada, CharityVillage.com is a popular source for charity jobs, while OpportunityKnocks.org offers a similar resource for US residents.

Specialized Job Search Sites
Many job sites exist which focus on particular careers. For example MediaJobSearchCanada.com concentrates on jobs involved with new media, marketing, and technology, eFinancialCareers.com offers business careers, while LawJobs.com indexes jobs within the legal profession. See this useful list of National & Specialized Job Listings for more in your own profession.

Online Classifieds
Old favorite CraigsList and growing competitor Kijiji are like national newspaper classified ads. Be careful, anyone can post an ad, so be wary of ads making fabulous promises or offering few details about the job and/or employer.

Please share your favorite job search websites or resources with us!

    I am neither sister nor brother… I ask you … if you love someone or something so much then that is what you should do. To be forced into doing things doesnt work … ever… as for the god and doctor, I do pray for you but believe in doctor as well… one must always rationally think as well as hope for the bright future

  • Appu says:

    Also, freedom and life is something you want then that is what you will get, dont let others tell you how to live, you just live it, but also think on the matter they have set forth… do not go head on to it… consider all possibilities and see where you will be happier
