The next website that I am going to profile is Workopolis.com. Again, Workopolis, just like Jobboom and Monster, has an easy to use search function and also a Fast Track option that shows all of the jobs in a certain field. Workopolis offers the advantage of having an RSS feed send directly to your RSS reader. Under that Career Resources section, Workopolis offers career planning services and even background information on resume writing, interview skills, and networking. In their Member section, you can create up to ten resumes and save them on the Workopolis website. You can also sign up for a job newsletter and you can even receive career alerts, but you do not have to register to search jobs and to even apply for them. Next, we have Craigslist, which out of all four of the websites is the least professional looking but one of the most popular. Craigslist has a search function just like Workopolis, Jobboom and Monster, but their search function search the entire Craigslist website, and not just the job section. So, you will be waiting through a lot of unwanted information. There is no Member section on the Craigslist. You can look for jobs by city, state, or even country. Many small companies advertise on Craigslist and some major ones also. One of the major downsize of Craigslist is that you have to be aware of the scams. One positive thing that Craigslist has over its competition is that it's the only website where you can look for a job, a used car and find some love. So, use the Internet to help viewing a quest for a job. It provides you with many resources and tools for comprehensive job search.
