New online tools for the job hunt

If you’re looking for some new places to look for work, look no further.

The U.S. Department of Labor has brought together 60 online career sites in one place. And the sites weren’t chosen by bureaucrats, but by individuals, employers and career experts and others who voted for their favorite tools in January.

The new suite is founded on the CareerOneStop page and includes everything from the obscure to the Monster. I wrote about this recently for the Washington Post, and am already using some of the resources myself.  Others are on my “to explore” list.

Besides jobs boards, you’ll find resources for planning your next career and information on scholarships, skills assessments and more.

Here’s one category — the Labor Department’s recommended Social Media Job Search sites:

Door64.com – (http://door64.com)

GreenJOBS.pro – (http://greenjobs.pro)

JibberJobber.com – (http://www.jibberjobber.com)

Susan Ireland’s YouTube Playlists – (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=326ccae042d03e86)

Susan P. Joyce’s Linkedin Group – (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1713867)

TweetMyJOBS.com – (http://www.tweetmyjobs.com)

My hope is that everyone – employed and unemployed alike – find at least one new resource here, and better yet three or 30. We all need a full toolbox to keep our careers running smoothly.
