Jobstreet.com has operations across
Australia, China, India and many other countries in South-East
Asia. When last accessed, the site had 2,00,000 users signed up
and over 10,000 jobs listed. These listings consist both of
online and newspaper ads. Registration is a must to enjoy all the
features that the site offers. Further, if you want to apply for
a particular job online, you have to deposit your resume at
Jobstreet first. The section called MyResume helps you build up
the resume step by step giving personal details, education, work
experience, skills and strengths, work expectations, etc. You can
set up something called a LiNa-Job Alert Profile where you give
details of your ideal job and get the jobs sent to you by e-mail.
In the tools section, you can take the personality test to find
out how suitable you are for a particular job.JobsDB
Except for the addition of the
USA, this site too covers the areas mentioned in the above site.
You do not have to be a member of JobsDB.com to have access to
the job search here, but without registration you will not enjoy
the convenience of submitting your resume online to corporate
recruiters with a single mouse click. The website uses Secure
Socket Layer 3.0 (SSL3) to protect your transmitted information.
This allows you to be in complete control of who has access to
your personal information. A corporate recruiter cannot view your
personal information until you authorise the release of your full
resume. All he gets is to view your brief resume, sans personal
details and contact info. Separate sections for job seekers and
employers allow each to look for just what they want.Jobtrove
This site emphatically advises Job
seekers: "We are not a recruiting company. Please do not e-mail
resumes to us." What it does is invite employers to post
their employment requirements to the site -- free of charge -- so
that job seekers can contact them directly. Of course, one can
post one's resume here, so that employers can find what they are
looking for. You can also give your e-mail ID to the site, select
an area and your primary skill, and you will be mailed new jobs
posted on this site which are suitable for you. Besides jobs
themselves, there is a useful Career Guide section which gives
you tips on interviews, resume preparation, dressing up,
relocation etc. In the Discussion Forum you can join discussions
on various topics like career advice, visa processing, interview
guidelines and company verification. A useful search engine helps
you get quickly to what you are looking for. And if you are in
jitters over how best to prepare a resume, look up the resume
preparation service here so that you get it just right. For those
seeking employment in the US, a useful section lists the costs of
living there under various heads.Naukri
This is the oldest employment site in
India and it is sure nice to see that it is still going strong
with daily updates. A distinctly helpful feature of Naukri.com is
that it presents various categories of industry right on its
homepage itself so you can click away to find out if there is a
job waiting for you right away. Though you can apply for a job
free, there are other services for which you have to pay a small
fee. These services include uploading your resume at the site for
a year; sending your CV to Indian placement agencies,
international software recruiters and software companies;
receiving relevant job details by e-mail; and having the site
experts work on your resume and improve it. The free resume
manager here helps you go about presenting yourself in the right
way. And if it's career advice you're after, there is someone
called Kum Kum Tandon to provide you just that. Recruiters have
the facility of searching resumes and posting a vacancy.
Headhunters can also benefit as they can hoist their profiles on
the site or even getting a home page of their own.Jobsahead
The site boasts of a database of over 10,000
jobs which you can access by selecting category and location.
Once you come to the job of your choice you can send in your
application but only after you register and post your resume.
When you click apply, software on the site checks whether your
resume meets the minimum standards of qualifications and work
experience. If it doesn't, then you get a 'Sorry' reply. Also
indicated against each job is the number of applicants so far.
Here you can get tips on resume writing, interview skills and how
to prepare for your first job. You can enter a chat room and
discuss and exchange ideas with your peer group. A further
service available is e-mail alerts for suitable jobs whenever
they are available.Tailpiece: If you'd rather send your resume (or anything else for that matter) by fax, you can benefit from reader Harneet's suggestion of sites from which you can send free faxes through e-mail to anywhere. Here they are:
