Career Builder: Using Job Boards For More Than Jobs
If you are like most job seekers, you have registered your
resume on the major online job boards such as Career Builder,
Monster, TheLadders.com, Headhunter, etc. But are you aware of
the plethora of good information and job search tools that are
available on these sites in addition to job listings?
Take CareerBuilder.com for example. The main navigation pages at
Career Builder are "Home", "Find Jobs", "Post Resumes", "Job
Alerts", "My Career Builder", "Advice and Resources", and
"Career Fairs". Most online job hunters typically will use the
Find Jobs and Post Resumes pages. About half might sign up for
Job Alerts. Career Builder offers two sections that could be the
most valuable sections to job seekers but not all visitors will
read them. Those sections on Career Builder are "Advice and
Resources" and "Career Fairs".
Of particular interest on CareerBuilder.com is the "Advice and
Resources" section. In this section, Career Builder has ten
different sections on various subjects from continuing education
to resume services to financial advice. At the top of the page,
Career Builder highlights four articles of special interest to
job seekers. These articles rotate on a regular basis so the
visitor should check back often to see new articles and to read
past articles that are listed in their appropriate headings by
Career
Builder.
At the very bottom of the Career Builder Advice page, there are
seven different sections that are collections of articles on job
hunting, business opportunities, and education that have been
written by experts. In the career advice section at the bottom
of the page, there is an option to watch various videos of
career experts talking about different aspects of job search.
This option also appears on Career Builders' home page. This is
a new feature by Career Builder that actually allows the job
seeker to watch a short instructional video on various topics.
All total, Career Builder.com has more than 200 articles
covering various job search and employment topics on these
pages. Career Builder has built a wonderful resource area of
which many job seekers do not take advantage. The next time you
visit the site, read more than just the job listings. Take time
to read the excellent information that Career Builder has
gathered in one place for your benefit!
