Don't Forget About Online Job Banks!

Internet and Web site advancements have provided us with job-search conduits such as online recruiters, headhunters, job sites and ... job banks, where job seekers can post resumes, search for a job or announce job openings.

Basically, there are two kinds of job banks—private sector and governmental. Job Banks function similarly to employment agencies, the major difference being that they provide services online and do not collect fees.

Job Banks match people with jobs according to skills, education, work experiences, geography and salary. A lot of companies today focus on niche markets, resulting in the emergence of industry-specific job banks. Here is a short list of job banks online:

JobBankUSA.com
SeniorJobBank.org
JobBankInfo.org

NEW JOB SEARCH WEB SITE TARGETS $100K JOBS/$100K JOB SEEKERS

Just as there’s job search Web sites for specific industries and business categories, such as medical or information technology, there’s now a site for $100K+ job seekers. So if you’re hunting for that high-level management or c-level position, things may have just gotten a bit easier with TheLadders.com. Unlike Monster.com, TheLadders.com targets only professionals looking for higher paying jobs minus the hassles and the need for weeding through endless entry-level after entry-level positions.

TheLadders.com offers up only $100K+ jobs—categorizing them by region and country.  These jobs are further segmented by job type, i.e., technology, accounting, retail, etc. TheLadders.com also goes one step beyond other job search sites by offering safe and secure networking opportunities for job seekers and recruiters.

The Wall Street Journal recently commented on the benefit of utilizing a specialized job search engine, such as TheLadders.com, by stating. “... in addition to sharing the same audience as The Wall Street Journal, TheLadders.com’s brand holds similar attributes of exclusivity and must-have content.” (click for full article).
