#6 Simply Hired
“Looking for a job shouldn't be a full-time job! That's why we built the biggest, smartest job search engine on the web. We search thousands of job sites and companies, so you don't have to,” the site states. Besides making things easy, Simply Hired also connects your social networks with job search.

Simply Hired's frequently updated blog offers excellent advice for job seekers.

#5 LinkedIn
This largest network of professionals in the world sure is a place to hunt for a job. As a LinkedIn member, you'll join 225 million other professionals who are sharing connections, ideas, and opportunities. So your profile is essentially your résumé, listing all your work experience and skills, and connecting you with contacts. Employers can list jobs on the site to recruit the best candidates, the listings are available for you to search, and of course, it's a great site for investigating potential employers. Some companies will let you apply with nothing more than your LinkedIn profile. If you see one of your LinkedIn connections is LinkedIn with someone at a company you're applying to, you can ask them to introduce you. LinkedIn's ability to connect you to others in your field (and beyond) makes it arguably the strongest job search weapon in your arsenal.

#4 Craigslist
The site hosts local classifieds and forums - community moderated, and largely free.Jobs, housing, goods, services, romance, local activities, advice - just about anything really. Though you can't sign up for email updates or post your résumé—but Craigslist certainly has plenty of jobs to offer and it specializes in finding openings in your vicinity. Listings aren't pulled in from other aggregator sites; they're all individually posted by employers. Jobs categories can be pretty broad though, so the downside is you may have to look harder to find that perfect position.

#3 Monster

Internationally known and highly regarded, it lists hourly, part-time, and full-time jobs in practically every career field. But it's more than just a search site; Monster also provides tons of articles with advice for getting the most out of your job search, your résumé, interviews, and your career. The privacy feature that blocks specific companies from seeing your résumé is a lifesaver if you don't want your current employer to know you're looking for a new job. Monster is also the owner of the BeKnown service/app for Facebook, which puts your job search front and center on the world's biggest social network.

#2 CareerBuilder
