Question by ~ Jamie ~: Which career/job hunting sites are the best?
I live in Michigan and have been laid off since April. The economy is suffering here, and it is difficult finding something. I am using Careerbuilder and Monster, but it isn’t enough. Are there any other sites that may be beneficial? I have tried Hotjobs before, but it seems their concentration is on “Work from Home” opportunities or staffing agencies. I am a career professional in Sales Administration. I could really use some help. Any advice or feedback would be much appreciated!
I really should have said “effective” as opposed to “the best”.
I absolutely agree. I am not spending a substantial amount of time on the job boards. I printed out Detroit’s 101 Best and Brightest, and will be working off of the Forbes and Crains list as well.

Snagajob.com is another site that you could go to…Most of the professional jobs don’t do a great deal of advertising their careers on job finder sites. They are advanced enough to have their own websites and hiring managers. I suggest looking at company websites. Go for some of the fortune 500s, especially if you may be planning on moving. They have locations everywhere and you’re bound to find something. Also, people who identify companies that they want to work for and take a visit ther/network are really successful at finding jobs.
