Where do you look for your next career move? There are several job boards, but which is right for you?
Let’s look at a few places job seekers go online and find the right one for your needs.
1. Craigslist
This website is a way to find local candidates without breaking the bank. It’s one of the world’s most popular classified ad sites and can connect candidates with employers in around 70 countries.
When you post a job on this job board, you know it’ll attract a lot of attention. It’s estimated that more than 100 million people visit the site monthly in America alone.
Interestingly, while it lets users in some countries post job openings for free, that option’s not available in the U.S. When American employers post a job, they pay fees ranging from $10 to $75, depending on the location.
Posting is simple. First, create a free account with your email address and set your location based on where you’re hiring. Create a job posting and select the job offered. Then, pick a category for your job post. Then, you can start writing your post.
While it’s great that you can easily publish a job posting for a small amount, know there’s a trade-off. You’re likely to attract unqualified candidates simply because of the number of people using this website. If you’ve ever used a free job board or posted to Craigslists, you already know wading through dozens of resumes is a time strain.
For this reason, we recommend sticking with LinkedIn, which offers some specialized features to help you filter out folks who lack the skills you’re looking for.
2. ZipRecruiter
Here’s another popular site that job seekers flock to when looking for a change of pace. Betterteam reports over 30 million job seekers turn to ZipRecruiter every month.
🛑 It’s called “typosquatting”: There are jerks out there who buy up URLs that are just a typo away from the site you meant to visit. If you have a business, you’re a target. Have I Been Squatted? checks if someone is impersonating your website so you can protect your domain name. Ahem, this is why I own dozens of spellings of my site, Komando.com.

🌐 Set a start page in Chrome: You can make Chrome open your favorite website when you launch it. Go to Settings > On startup > Open a specific page or set of pages > Add a new page. Type in the URL (like https://www.komando.com) and click Add. Next time you open Chrome, it’ll take you straight there. Neat.
📣 Change Alexa’s news source: By default, Alexa plays NPR when you ask for the news. Prefer something else? Open the Alexa app and go to More > Settings > News > My News Channel. From there, you can choose from networks like ABC, CNN and Bloomberg, among others. Oh, you can also ask Alexa to “Play The Kim Komando Show podcast.”
Stop poking your Echo: Say, “Alexa, volume up” or “volume down” to adjust the sound. Want more control? Say “Alexa, set volume to 5.” The range goes from 1 to 10, so you can dial it in for podcasts (like The Kim Komando Show), playlists or whatever you’re playing.
