Craigslist can only take me so far...

I was hoping you could help me find a specific recent Job / Career Search MeFi question. One of the answers was a list of several job search sites.

I could have sworn that I favorite-ed it, but alas, I cannot locate it. To make matters worse, I do not remember specifically what the question was asking, just that there was one specific answer that was a list of job websites, similar to monster and careerbuilder.

Please hope me?

And thanks for stopping by.

I think we need to figure out a way where every new thread somehow works in a link back to that one.

Haha. Oh my gosh. Thanks guys. Makes sense why I couldn't find it! I just read that thread the other day thanks to Meta Talk... but since it was posted in 2006, it wasn't in any of my most recent favorites even though I distinctly remembered reading it recently.

Yikes though, I really didn't mean to bring that thread up again! Just wanted some new places to peruse during my job search. :)

Thanks again!

Just FYI, that post is a little outdated now. The only one of those sites I'd recommend today is Indeed (I still use their email alerts for certain keywords in my town). Here are some other services you might want to try:

Job Pile (which aggregates job boards like MeFi Jobs and 37signals)
Job Crawler
LinkUp
Most Hired (another aggregator)
Job Search Easy
qkSearch (jobs tab)
Zuula Job Search
Eluta (Canada jobs)
Work Circle (UK jobs)
Work Magnet (UK jobs)

Thanks mattbutcher! I have been using Indeed, but hadn't heard of any of these. I will check them out.
