Job hunter websites

Heads up:  Fortune magazine has published a list of the 30 best websites for job hunters, as voted on by the people who actually use them.  It’s from Weedles (http://www.weddles.com/), a major publisher of print guides to internet job hunting, which holds a vote every year to choose the top 30 as User’s Choice award winners.  About a third are general sites, and two-thirds are niche sites that are specific to an industry.  (Also cited by http://recareered.blogspot.com/2008/05/top-30-job-boards.html.)

Here they are:

General Purpose

Niche – Career Field

Niche – Industry

Niche – Geography

Niche – Affinity

Niche – Employment category

One of the big favorites, Simply Hired, has recently integrated LinkedIn contact information into its postings.  Big news. 

Online job boards are only one way to search for jobs in medical sales, healthcare sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, pharmaceutical sales, medical device sales, molecular products sales, cellular products sales, or biotech products sales.  Another option is to go directly to the company, or do some good old-fashioned networking.  Of course, the best way is to contact your friendly medical sales recruiter (that would be me at PHC Consulting).  I know where the jobs are, what concerns you should or shouldn’t have about a certain employer, what type of culture the company has, whether or not they will negotiate on salary or just other perks, whether the travel is just 10% like they say it is in the job description, etc. So many people spend less time making a company choice (or career decision) than they do for a car purchase….which will you spend the most time with everyday? Which is easier to fix (if you make a mistake)? Then at least take it serious enough to work with a knowledgeable, trusted recruiter! (hey – that is another blog post, right?)

    This blog has good information. The author is absolutely correct in saying that job search websites are only way to search for a new job. Contacting the company directly is effective and so is networking, also mentioned. If websites are your thing, don’t underestimate sites like http://www.linkedin.com. Recruiters are using this site more than other to find quality people.
