Best Job Search Sites for Administrative Professionals

What are the best job search sites for Administrative Professionals? Unfortunately, I haven't come across any sites specifically designed for Administrative Assistants and the like. The list below may seem obvious to you, but they are proven to be the most comprehensive sites containing the most job listings for Administrative Professionals.

I particularly like Craigslist, as more and more employers are starting to use this as they see it is more effective in reaching out to prospective candidates.

Administrative Professionals, which includes Administrative Assistants, Executive Assistants and other office support staff in the job market should consider these five job search sites for maximum results:
  1. Craigslist.org - Organized by city, state, or country, Craigslist is a wonderful job search site. Aside from offering tons of other categories ranging from real estate ads to personals, Craiglist offers a section for posting your resume. Believe me, it is viewed too. Employment agencies and employers alike peruse the resume listings on Craigslist. Another job search feature here is the job listings. An extensive listing encompassing every industry, this is not to be overlooked by the eager job seeker.

  2. Monster.com - Ever the monster in the giant job search market, Monster.com offers many services to aid the job seeker in whatever stage of the job hunt they are in. From targeting the right industry/company to salary negotiation tips, be sure to post your profile here.

  3. Careerbuilder.com - A major competitor for Monster.com is Careerbuilder.com. Equally as effective in your job search, so definitely include it as part of your strategy in finding your next job. They have a good newsletter of the most up-to-date job listings that you can get emailed. They also feature user-friendly site navigation by location.

  4. Yahoo! HotJobs - Another major job search engine, Yahoo! HotJobs is also a must-visit site on which to set up your profile.

  5. There are also sites that host listings from search engine sites. They are not in themselves a job search site, but it's a good way to view job postings on offer from the various sites. Indeed.com, SimplyHired.com and Hound.com are three such sites. Be sure to visit these sites and set up your profiles for maximum exposure to available jobs.

    It's tough out there, so make sure your resume is up to par, error-free, and updated.
