Read on to learn about some of the job search websites that can help you with your job search - depending on your current needs of course.
Glassdoor.com is an excellent free website for job seekers as users have the ability to post both anonymous salary information and anonymous employer reviews.

Moreover, users can also research job listings, and discover job salaries by both location and job description.
Other information that is offered to users includes scanned photos of actual company offices – as well as information regarding company interview styles and interview questions.

As for costs, some of the information is free; however, there are reasonable fees associated with Highbeam’s annual subscription.
If you have not used LinkedIn as a job research tool, then you are definitely missing out on LinkedIn’s capabilities.
