Job Placement Websites Individuals Sites Employers Find Salary

There are many "job placement websites" (websites designed to help employers find new employees and to help individuals find new jobs), but the two most popular "in terms of" (as measured by) the number of visitors are CareerBuilder.com and Monster.com.

These and other job placement websites allow individuals to search for "positions" (jobs) by title, "industry" (field of work), "function" (what one does on the job), location, "keyword" (words that appear in the title or description), "salary range" (the low and high end of possible salary), "employment type" (part- or full-time, temporary or permanent), and more. Each job contains a "complete" (full) description of the job.

Individuals who want to apply for a job can do so online, answering questions and uploading a resume. Individuals can also create a "profile" (basic information about someone) on the websites so that employers can view their qualifications and let them know if they appear to be a good "match" (someone who has what is needed) for the job.

Job placement websites also have many articles with job searching "tips" (suggestions, ideas, and techniques) for "job seekers" (people who are looking for jobs). Other features on the sites can include "salary calculators" that help people determine how much money they can make in a particular city in a particular type of job. Many sites also offer short "quizzes" (tests) that people can take to identify which types of jobs and industries interest them most. Some of the sites also have "forums" (ways to communicate online) for "like-minded" (with similar interests) job seekers to ask and answer questions and support each other.
