The Riley Guide

The Riley Guide is one of the oldest directories of career and employment resources available online. Provided for free to all users, it guides users through all aspects of a job search — not just where the jobs are listed online but also where to look for employers, how to avoid scams, and what other options exist for you when your current job or career field is on the decline.

Individual sections cover topics such as Networking, Resumes & Cover Letters, Career Options, and what to do before you search for a job. Some highlights from the site (click on the section title):

Sites with Job Listings:
The entry to 50 pages of job sites, from Monster and CareerBuilder to SnagAJob… from TurboTAP to AgCareers … from Iowa to American Samoa and beyond. These pages divide hundreds of listings into categories like the big boards to Local US Jobs and International Resources, and even cover internships, apprenticeships, and self-employment. Looking for something specific? Try the Google Search Bar, which covers the entire site, or check the A to Z Keyword Index.

Scams and Schemes in Work and Employment Services:
A resource identifying many scams directed toward job seekers, particularly persons who are desperate to find new sources of income. Most recently added was a notice regarding “employers” requesting job seekers submit credit reports with their resumes.
