Thing 19: Any site from Web 2.0 awards list

I took a look at CareerBuilder.com, the 2nd place winner from the short list of Employment website listings on the Web 2.0 awards list. It seemed appropriate in the current economic climate, not only for our customers but also for our own County employees, who may be facing layoffs. The site has a lot to offer employers and job seekers. Employers post job listings. Job seekers can ask to search posted jobs in predetermined categories or by keyword, specifying specific locations or not. Each listing says how long ago it was posted, a complete job description, a link to a mapit feature to get a specific location for the job offering and by clicking on the company name, information about the company offering the employment. There are options for saving, emailing, sharing the job listings- Options offered include a salary calculator for specific job markets, setting up a job alert to keep abreast of new developments and an RSS feed- a resume poster, as well as a free resume review and a caution about detecting fraudulent job postings. Under advice and resources there are career tests to get ideas for choosing a career, links to online skills training offerings, links to career fairs, career resources and educational resources. It is a complete employment site and easy to navigate. We have a lot of job seekers in the public library, and I would feel confident directing them to this site, if they are looking for job-seeking direction.
