New job search web sites p1 - Military Transition - Military Times EDGE

We all know the granddaddy job-hunting Web sites such as Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com (owned partially by the parent company of Military Times) and Jobing.com. Career expert and author Alison Doyle has produced her list of favorite newer job-search sites. Here are five:

• www.visualcv.com: Allows users to create a résumé that “comes alive with informational keyword pop-ups, video, pictures and social networking.”

• www.linkup.com: Bills itself as a way into the “hidden” job market and promises only real jobs from real companies.

• www.realmatch.com: Matches applicants only with employers that appear to make a good fit.

• www.standoutjobs.com: An “interactive career site that leverages social media tools and principles, including video, blogging and widgets.”

• www.glassdoor.com: Allows users to find “real-time reviews, ratings and salary details about specific jobs for specific employers — all for free.”
