Job search websites

Remember when searching for a job consisted of spending hours going to numerous businesses filling out applications when job leads came from classified ads in the newspaper? Thanks to modern technology and online job websites/portals, finding a job is as simple as one click of your mouse.

Finding a job has never been easier than the methods used today. The only requirements for today’s job seekers are registering with job portals, adding their professional and personal information, then let the website work its magic finding the top jobs that match their credentials.

With new job site portals popping up online, how does one know which sites are legit and which are bogus sites designed to steal user’s information to sell to other sites? First, it is important to know which websites users rely on the most.
