The American economy has been slowly growing in the last 9 years. MarketWatch.com [1] reports that unemployment is only 3.7% which hasn’t happened since the late 1960s. What this means is that there are more open roles than there are workers to fill them. In other words, this should equate to better salaries and benefits.
If you’ve been considering changing jobs, this is probably the best time to do so. You should start by doing some research and finding out how people in your position usually earn to have more leverage at the negotiation table. If for nothing else, then to have a reason to get that bonus once reviews start.
Once you get a good grasp of how much your skill set is worth, you can find the best jobs online. There are a number of different apps and services that provide job listings and they are quick and convenient. Moreover, they offer additional benefits such as resume builders, and a number of different algorithms and features to help connect you with potential employers. Here are perhaps four of the top websites to find the best jobs online.
Glassdoor
Glassdoor lets employers post general information about their companies, and employees can leave anonymous reviews about their experiences working for a particular company. This website also has a search engine and search agents and notifications for jobs that match your education and experience. Glassdoor also provides median salaries for a large number of different jobs and industries, as well as the opportunity to work with resume-building companies.
Indeed
Indeed is perhaps the largest website with job postings at the moment. TheBalanceCareers.com [2] reports that Indeed lists millions of job postings from around the world using many different sources such as blogs, newspapers, job boards, and company websites. The search engine algorithms on Indeed are some of the best and help both employers and those seeking jobs find what they’re looking for quickly and easily. Other than that, you can specify what kind of job you’re looking for and receive email notifications when a listing shows up.
As a social media site for professionals, LinkedIn is a place where people working in all sorts of industries can share not only their resume but also news, updates, and best practices for their particular field of interest, and the opportunity to network between themselves or get in touch with potential employers. This website has quickly become a must for anyone who needs to have a professional presence online.
ZipRecruiter
ZipRecruiter is oriented more towards those offering jobs, but it also provides job seekers with an impressive set of search features and tools that can connect you to potential employers. They include notifications when your resume passes a specific review stage, as well as different metrics and statistics that let you know the likelihood of getting an interview. ZipRecruiter shows candidates a tailored selection of job offers from employers who have reviewed their resumes and could use their skill set and experience.
