Job Search Boards
If you've been looking for an internship or a job as of late you know that there are literally millions and millions of websites where jobs are posted, especially in finance. I could go forever naming them (LinkedIn doesn't count) but to name a few:
- Monster.com
- Internships.com
- Ivy Exec
- InternMatch
- Indeed.com
and blah blah blah.
Here is an interesting Forbes article containing 100 helpful job search websites:

But if you did land a gig successfully, which one did you actually found useful and actually legit?
What other useful tools/websites did you find for your search?
All input is welcome!
I always felt indeed was the best website. However, in my opinion, you are always better off just crawling the company websites.
I agree, using each vendor's website is the most comprehensive approach but that could take an infinity of time, which is why sites like Indeed come in handy
Has anyone got any success with Wallstreetoasis's Job Board?
Job Boards? Where to look? (Originally Posted: 02/22/2011)
So as Full Time recruiting is winding down I have an offer but I'd still like to explore every last option that I can.
What job boards are good for picking up a job in banking/higher finance/etc? Doostang? Something better? I'm not really sure where else to look (not many companies chose to participated in my schools on campus recruiting this semester)
Thanks in advance

I don't have access to it =/
are efinanancialcareers.com, doostang, or theladders worth it at all? Or are they like most other sites that put up long expired listings
doostang is relatively finance-focused and has a lot of CA postings, I think it would be worth the 40 bucks....just remember to cancel your membership once you're done looking

Quick question-have any of you had luck applying through these sites (efinancial careers, WSO, etc.) and if so do you generally just send a resume or do you send a cover letter even when it is not specifically requested.
LinkedIn is amazing for monkeys who are currently working. For monkeys still at school, LinkedIn is getting much better for students, real fast, but I wouldn't say it will replace OCR just yet. Students are the fastest growing demographic on LinkedIn and you bet recruiters are looking for good candidates at target schools on its platform.
I have been approached by dozens of recruiters who found my profile, which is updated with my work and education history in addition to my skills. This allows recruiters to find me through a keyword search.
We are entering prime recruiting season for those of us on Wall Street, and I'm getting calls / emails from recruiters who have found me profile on LinkedIn. This includes BB and HF recruiters in addition to other opportunities at smaller shops.
Glad to hear it is working out for you...anyone else? Any experience with these sites? How about for someone currently working but not on Wall Street? I know it is a bit more of an uphill battle but what is the strategy?
Realize this is several months old. I've been using it and am not on Wall Street. I've gotten a number of folks who are on Wall Street to reply/add to my network/etc. I'm working from the outside looking in at the moment but am in the process of trying to rectify that with further education and networking. It's somewhat hit or miss. A lot of folks will join your network but when you ask questions or hit them up for information/guidance, you can tell there's likely either a deer in the headlights on the other end or someone who is too busy to answer.
Bottom line -- mixed bag. I too have found that in general as far as demographics go, there are fewer junior level folks out there for some reason. Unsure if that helps. Sorry for the late response.
Replying to GameNumbers post. Sorry that this presents such an issue that you felt the need to be rude.
Poor use of the flag content function. Fail.
Ps- I didnt have a problem understanding what you wrote
Didn't think anyone would have an issue. Clearly some folks are wound a bit too tight.
Or clearly I am the OP and I was not talking about networking, I was talking about job postings. I understood your post it was just utterly irrelevant.
It may not have been a direct answer to your question, but it was giving you a feel for what the LinkedIn culture is like. Coming back with a douchey response wasn't necessary, either nothing or "that's not exactly what Im looking for, but thanks" would be better received. Worth noting for future reference.
