From: About.com Job Searching
The About.com Job Searching Forum has been inundated with posts
(that have been deleted because they don't fit the standards for
posting) offering free trials on job sites that charge job seekers
for unadvertised job listings on company web sites. Regardless of
what you read, it's important to be aware that job seekers don't
have to pay to access listings from employer web sites. Despite
sites advertising that you can get a job search edge by paying for
job listings (over $200 a year on one site I looked at recently),
job seekers don't need to pay to access job postings that are
available elsewhere for free. I wrote about LinkUp the other day.
LinkUp searches unadvertised jobs on employer web site and has many
additional features for job seekers, as well. The job search
engines Indeed.co...

More Jobs in January
Job search engine LinkUp, which indexes jobs from over 20,000
company sites, reports that new job listings on company
websites rose by 69,082 in January. This is
an increase of 18% from December.  Even
though December is traditionally a bad month for new job
listings, the report shows
 progress in the right direction. This is good news for
job seekers and a sharp contrast to LinkUp's dismal
December report in which new and total job listings job search by
24% and 17% respectively. By the way, LinkUp is a terrific site for
finding jobs direct from company websites. Job seekers
can search by keywords, job title, company, and/or location, to
find jobs posted on company's own websit...
Bad Job Sites
My email In Box is full, every single day, of pitches for the
latest, greatest, best sites for job seekers. These job sites
promise to find you a job fast, they guarantee you exclusive job
listings, and they assure you that the site is a top ranked site
for job seekers. Some of the job sites that call themselves the
best job sites are not good job sites, let alone the best job
sites. Others are bad job sites, and still others would garner a
spot on a list of worst job sites. The worst of them take advantage
of job seekers who can't afford to waste money by charging them for
job listings and resources that are available free via the job
search engines or directly on company sit...
Where to Find Job Listings
There isn't just one best job search site , though
there are some really good ones. In fact, what's best
for you, might not be a good site for someone else. Job searching
is personal - you need to find job postings that are a match for
your specifications and are located where you want to work. That's
why you need to spend some time checking out sites with job
listings to see which ones give you the best
results - that means quality job leads, not just a ton
of them. A site full of jobs in New York, when you need to stay in
Florida, for example, isn't going to be much help. Taking the time
to target your job search upfront, will save time in the long run.
Given the job market, quality is m...
Niche Job Search Engines
The job search engines are a terrific resource for getting directly
to job postings. Now, you can even further target your job search
by using a niche job search engine. A niche job search engine,
rather than searching across the Internet for jobs, searches for
jobs based on a more specialized criteria - just green jobs from
green job boards, for example, or just retail jobs. Green Job
Spider enable job seekers to search the more than 50 job boards
that focus on green jobs with just a couple of clicks. Job seekers
can search by keyword and location using the basic search and by
keyword, category, type of position, sector, and location using the
advanced ...
