Top three sites to begin your job search

Jobs. The news is plastered with the desperate state of our economy. If you are like me and graduating soon with a mountain of student loan debt, you are facing an economy that has little to offer you.

Web tools are here to help. Here are three web tools that can help you with that job search. 

SayHelloThere.com




When you are applying for positions, it is important that you make yourself stand. What can you offer the organization that no one else can? Personalization is everything. The site HelloThere allows you to make a webpage for an employer that is customized to the position that you are applying. This site even allows you to upload images and videos. After you send the potential employer your page, you can then find out when they read it to ease your anxieties a bit. Pretty cool, huh :) 

JobStart101.org






If you don't have a fancy career center to go to, or have not been in the job market for a long time, consider taking the free online course at JobStart101.org. Sponsored by Business Roundtable and the HR Policy Association, this course will teach you about building your "brand", developing a strong online presence, handing your emotions of the job search and driving your career. This site even provides a free workbook

#3 Indeed.com
Indeed.com







Indeed, there is Indeed.com. Instead of checking out websites daily, Indeed will aggregate what they find around the internet that matches your specifications. You can search for positions based on type, location, and it even allows you to filter by salary.

Good luck on your job search !
