Last year had been like a nightmare for job seekers as well as job doers. Millions of jobs were drowned worldwide in the financial tsunami. This was the worst recession in decades and the fallout of the crisis was felt almost everywhere in the world. Otherwise established professionals were handed over pink slips and young job seekers found it almost impossible to find jobs.

But as the months passed on, the financial demon started losing teeth and now the situation is heading toward normalcy. Companies have started hiring again. However, finding a good job is not child’s play as it needs its share of planning - which starts with a good platform to find a job.
Job search engines are relatively new concept in job finding business but it has already made a mark. These websites allow users to search the major job sites, company sites, associations, news papers and other online job sites by keyword and location. No matter you are a fresher or a professional, these sites may help you a lot in finding your dream job.
Indeed.com
Whether you are employed, unemployed or just trying to build your career, this job search engine can make your job a bit easier. The idea behind the search engine is - “one search. all jobs.” and it fulfills its promise to the fullest. It includes job listings from all other search engines in its search results. It is easy to use and has plenty of tips and tutorials. Its search results include millions of jobs from thousands of web sites that include company career pages, job boards, newspaper classifieds, associations, and blogs. It also provides facility to search job trends and salaries, read and take part in discussion forums, research companies and even find people working for companies of interest through their online social networks.
Monster.com
Monster is the biggest job website and has its pros and cons. Monster offers valuable information in form of tips and tricks about resumes, interviewing and salary negotiation. Its “privacy plus” feature allows you to block specified companies from viewing your resume. It especially helps you to keep your resume confidential in the eyes of your current employer. Yahoo Hot Jobs was the first to implement this feature.
Hotjobs.yahoo.com
Other than job searching features, the most attractive feature of Yahoo’s hot jobs is its “status” feature that allows you to view how many times your resume has been viewed. It also allows you to block your resume from being viewed by certain companies. Like other job search engines it also has multiple search options.
Simplyhired.com
Simplyhired.com combines results from other job sites, newspapers, company websites, associations and other online sources and offers multiple search options. Users can search jobs by occupation, job title or location, and results can be filtered by job type, education, work experience, company revenue, company size or other characteristics. The site is strictly for job seekers and employers can’t post jobs here. You can’t post your resume directly to this site but there is a feature that allows you to send your resume to other web sites.
Careerbuilder.com
CareerBuilder.com fetches job listings not from other job sites, but from the pages of major newspapers - so a job search on this site might turn up something new, especially if you are looking for work in a metro city served by one of these newspaper chains.
