Pros: vast database, free for employees AND employers
Cons: interface is a bit clumsy
Hopefully, this will be my last review of a job search web site for a very long time. I just completed my first week at a new job that I totally love.
Last June, I took a deep breath and submitted my resume to monster.com. Although I was...

Pros: There are some great jobs offered.
Cons: It's a big hassle trying to find them.
I usually don’t equate the government with cutting-edge technology so when I first logged on to America’s Job Bank to look for a job, I wasn’t expecting very much. The good thing is that I was actually very impressed with the variety and quality of jobs...

Pros: one of the few sites that is free for employers
Cons: some people find the interface confusing
Are you an employer who wants to decrease turnover related expense? There are several media to use to find new workers, but advertising is expensive and it adds up over time. Employers use word of mouth, newspaper classified ads, radio, and television...

Pros: Totally free to job seekers AND advertisers
Cons: Gigantic pool can be hard to sift through
I've used America's Job Bank from both ends - both to look for employment, and then looking to fill a position. In each case, this resource proved to be one of the most useful on the 'net.
The last thing you want to do when conduction an...

Pros: Lots of job categories. Good source for local jobs. Good diversity of jobs.
Cons: Can only search one category at a time.
This summer, when I began my job search, I filled up my favorite's list on my browser with the standard highly-publicized job sites. Unfortunately, when you're looking for entry-level environmental and/or scientific jobs most of these sites are about as...

Pros: easy to use, ability to search area using zip codes
Cons: no new jobs have been added to my area since I've been searching
The problem I've had with searching for jobs on the internet is that my town just isn't listed. I am moving to a small town and until I get there my only option is to look online.
With other job services I've used, I could only choose the...

Pros: It's free. Your tax dollars pay for it.
Cons: National site is mostly head hunters.
Remember waiting in line just to collect $107 for Unemployment? If you don't you're too young. Going to the unemployment office used to take at least half a day. You met lots of wonderful people in line. Most of them would have worked 10 hours not to...

Pros: It's online, you don't have to drive anywhere.
Cons: It's online, there's no one to talk to.
Where does an old poet/editor go to find work? America's Job Bank does not handle the unusual job well. On the home page I clicked "Job Seekers". That is, after all, the reason I came to this site. On the next page I chose to search by...

Pros: Plenty of jobs for out of the home workers.
Cons: Not easy to navigate for Telecommuting Professionals.
Do I have time for this site? Sure I do if I am not looking to work at home. America's JobBank does carry a wide assortment of positions but what I am looking for is so hard to find. How do I navigate for a writing position or a telecommuting...

Pros: Easily defined search agents, really broad database
Cons: Few, if any
I accidently stumbled on America's Job Bank doing a search for my son-in-law. I ended up being fairly impressed with it. The main thing I like is that it locates possible jobs in my immediate area rather than the nearest large city. I currently live...
