Clinton Said:

What's the best resource to research companies for a job search. ?

We Answered:

Siftin.com looks at craigslist, dice.com, simplyhired, indeed.com, monster.com, and many more
You can use the preview feature on the site to do research on all of these sites.

Carolyn Said:

Do you know any "job search sites" that advertise real jobs in real companies?

We Answered:

In my expereince, Moster.co.uk and totaljobs are the best.

Or...

Think of a company you would like to work for and apply directly on their website. They normally have a careers page.

Leona Said:

I am doing a job search, any companies that you would not recommend?

We Answered:

Well!!! You should also include your country to complete the question

Jay Said:

Why Do Companies Post Jobs On Job Search Websites But Never Call When You Apply?

We Answered:

Because they literally get thousands of applications for each job. First, they collect all the applications, then after enough time for has passed that they think will get enough, they sort them (usually using software) to look for the most relevant applicants. Then they may contact a small handful for interviews. You need a resume that has the words that the software thinks is applicable.

Good luck.

Bill Said:

How do companies that I've applied to for a job search my employment history?

We Answered:

I actually use Lexis/Nexus to conduct background searches on prospective hires. Since I am in a Corporate environment (I am the HR Director) we do thorough background checks. What is also important to us is if whether or not the applicant is telling the truth regarding there last salary which is included in the report. One applicant in particular who we were going to hire stated he was earning 65K at his last place of employment. When we received the report he was actually earning 28K. Be advised these types of searches are conducted for higher level positions or those positions where there is a security issue (access to our most confidential systems.) I do not perform these types of background checks for the lower level positions. Depending on the types of positions you are applying for HR may play a role.
