Forbes Magazine List of Best Career Websites

The folks at Forbes Magazine have compiled a list of what they consider to be the top 75 Career websites. I work in Human Resources and spend most of my time in recruiting but I'll be the first to admit some of these sites were new to me. Of course there are the ones you might expect (LinkedIn, Monster, Indeed, etc.) but I'd encourage you to take a look at the list and explore some of the ones you might not already be familiar with. While there is no way any of us can manage to stay current with all 75, there are certainly some that will likely fit your interests and needs.

Not all of these are 'job boards'; in fact most appear to be sites helping people progress in their career once they already have a job. Some of my current favorites, including Evil HR Lady, Glassdoor, and InsideJobs made the list but what I'm looking forward to is exploring the rest! From finding internships and sites for new grads to helpful advice for women in the workplace that supplements Forbe's Top 100 Websites for Women list that came out in June, there's a lot of variety on the list. One of the more unusual ones is No Joe Schmo, which dedicates itself to profiling people in cool and crazy jobs and how they got there. Jacquelyn Smith, who did a nice job compiling the list and writing the Forbes article, also has a nice blog titled From Campus to Career that I have found interesting and entertaining in the past. Her most recent posting is a good example: The Most Outlandish Resume Mistakes of 2012. Happy browsing!
