I have spent a lot of time scouring the Internet for job boards that aren't riddled with scam sites, or a scam site using the rouse of being a job board. Either way, I have lost a lot of time to these fake job boards gathering my email address and name, only to discover I would be bombarded with emails for mail order brides and Wal-Mart gift cards. I have compiled a list of legitimate job boards that can help you find a job, and not fill your email with junk.
Monster - Fill in your profile, upload a picture, and upload your resume. No resume? That's ok! There is a resume builder on the website.
Careerbuilder - Kind of like Monster. Create your profile, add a picture, and upload a resume. There is also a resume builder on the website.
Glassdoor - I found that Glassdoor is a little more telecommute job friendly than Monster and Careerbuilder. There are loads of jobs, and you can read up on the company and requirements before submitting your resume.
Freelancer - You have to bid on remote/telecommute freelance writing jobs. The lowest bidder doesn't always win the gig, so think twice about underbidding and cheating yourself out of money.
Startwire - This job board has everything from remote work, to work in your area. You will need to create a profile, and upload a resume. There is no resume builder on this website, so you will need to have one already saved on your computer.
Beyond - A great website loaded with work opportunities. There are no resume building tools, but you get one free resume critique that may help you punch up your resume and get more response from potential employers. Basic use of the site is free, but there is the option to purchase a premium membership for $20, and get a few perks such as: featured resume listing, Twitter job feed, and featured application.
Snagajob - A job board with whatever you're looking for. From executives to CDL truck drivers. You will need to already have a resume written to be able to submit it. There are no resume building tools. There are a lot of jobs, and new ones are added all the time.
Ziprecruiter - Another fantastic job board with everything. They have both telecommute positions and on site jobs. Like many others, you cannot build a resume on the website, you must upload a prewritten one saved on your computer. Once you have uploaded your resume and information into your profile, there are a lot of job listings that have "one-click apply" buttons, so you won't have to fill in pages of application data each time. You also have a tab at the top of the page when you sign in that shows where you have applied, so you can keep track.
Workaholics4hire - Seems kind of sketchy by the name, but it's legit. There are loads of jobs on this board, and you must upload your resume. There are no fees for job seekers. There are remote job listings for people who want to work at home. There are also on site job listings. There's something for everyone.
I will add to this list as I find legitimate job boards. If it's not on this list, please leave me a comment and I will research the website before I add it. I will not be adding any websites that ask job seekers to pay anything, including background checks and credit checks. Those things should always be at an employers expense since they want the information.
Do not use my comments box to plug your own business unless you are offering legitimate employment. If so, leave your contact information, including business website and what jobs you are seeking employees to fill.
