What other websites are there to search for work?

The obvious one is jobcentreplus. Also using the direct websites of the company. What does everyone use? I would like something that searches alot of places instead of very little if possible.:D

Thankyou for the replies!:D

Good list by briona. I would personally avoid gumtree as rule of thumb - if employers advertise on there they would also advertise elsewhere... sticking to gumtree is a bad idea - a lot of genuine ads - I know ebay has invested in changing the reputation but lets just say I have come across 9 dodgy ones in 4 months from there.

Agree to an extent, but due the the VERY high cost of advertising jobs in the UK, many genuine companies try these sites as they are free. If they are not willing to give real contact details, address and pay structures after one e-mail, then yes avoid them.

freelancer.com is a great website to start with. Odesk and elance are more towards professional grounds! if you are a professional virtual assitant or a professional ghost writer the latter are meant for you

I just applied for part-time work with the 2011 Census. They have lots of full and part time temp jobs on their website. I cant post a link but if you google 'Census Jobs' you'll find their website.

Hello!

I recommend using a job search engine like Check4Jobs.com as most job sites like CV-Library, Monster, The Ladders, Telegraph, Careerbuilder, Incisive Media and Gumtree use job search engines to advertise their jobs. This mean you don't have to visit loads of job sites as all the jobs will be in Check4Jobs.com search engine.

Check4Jobs also provide a free CV distribution service called iCV to all jobseekers that will save you hours registering your CV to all the major job sites and set jobs by email. Fill in one form here check4jobs.com/icv/register and your done!

you realise the thread is months old
