- Monster.com
- This is probably the best known job search engine. They claim to have 445,000 job listings.

- Jobs are listed from help wanted adds in leading newspapers and from websites of various companies. This could be a great time-saver, allowing job seekers to have the benefit of checking out jobs in newspapers without the tedium of actually going through each paper. It may also be of interest to check out their company profiles. Searches can be by industry categories and location.
- Recruiters On Line
- A network of 8,000 recruiters post their jobs here. This is an association of employment agencies and professionals which assists in posting and broadcasting jobs online. Job seekers can submit their resumes to be included in the database.
- CareerBuilder
- This is a large national site that is in the process of combining with Monster.com. The downside is that the site has some obvious commercial promotions (e.g. banner advertising with doubleclick). As with any site, a potential user should check out their privacy policy before submitting personal information.
- 4 Anything’s Employment section
- This list of job search engines wouldn’t be complete without a reference to 4Anything. Check out their Resume Tips and 4Internships (4Internships… is on the side bar).
