Careerbuilder.com Review

Careerbuilder.com is made to help people find a new working place. Today there are hundreds sites which can help you to do this. Careerbuilder is not a unique one but one of the most serious and popular and the most important for us – it has a mobile version.

Site provides:

Search
Main target group of the site are people from the USA. There are some other options, for example to find the job in Canada, India or Germany. But still the search of a job is adjusted to find it in America. If we speak further about the search section, we must consider that is made very logically and almost everyone can get clear with it. You have two options for search the normal (general) or advanced (detailed). The general can be found on the main page but the advanced in the section find a job. Advanced search is more preferable because of many options to choose: you can search in particular region or select the range of your future salary.
Post your Resume.
Here you don’t just fill in the blanks and wait for the respond of your probable boss. After posting your resume you automatically get the job recommendations
. How does it work? Well the principle is quite simple, after the site gets the information about you the site scans your ifnormation, finds the keywords and matches them with the keywords from the job search database. So as a result you get the job list which can be suitable or at least interesting for you.
If you still don’t want to post you resume, you can just use a separate feature menu section “Job recommendation”.
Mobile version
Is a very simple and easy to use, just type in your device mobile.careerbuilder.com and you are ready to start. There aren’t so many options to choose. You don’t get the advanced search and you haven’t “Job recommendations”. You just type in the necessary keywords and the location if you need it. After clicking on find jobs you will see the list with suitable jobs. Site doesn’t hide the contact info so you easily contact the company directly from your mobile device.
Advices and support
This web project does not have community or forum to discuss. But it has other supportive information and links. In the section advice and resources you will see the whole list of different materials which should help you to get this job. Like for example: interview tips, selling strategies, how to get promoted and many others.

Site drawbacks.

Design.
The design of the main version could be slightly more interesting and have some extra features. Such design and such orientation nowadays can already be used for mobile versions.
Mobile version offers you the main feature “search” but actually nothing more. There is also a lack of functionality.

Some adds are shown in the right column and at the bottom of the page. But they will not disturb you searching.

Site summary and verdict
If you are looking for a job probably you should start you search with this web-project. There are various reasons for doing it and we will try to call them all. This one of biggest site of this sphere, it has thousands of job offers, the featured employees are well known and even famous enterprises. Carebuilder.com has a very simple navigation and it can be used by lots of people. It doesn’t have original design but this site works fast and doesn’t requires high speed Internet. There are no special applications for using it on Iphone or Android, and the universal mobile version works fine on almost all mobile devices. So it won’t be a problem to visit this site almost for all mobile phones. If you are not going to visit this site often you can just leave your resume and you will still have good chances to find a new job. Site can be interesting for people who are searching something for self-education because it offers variety of different materials for it. Our own experience with this site is also positive we tried “to find” a job in a specific field of PHP programming and there was a number of job offers. If you aren’t registered user you need to register first to contact your probable boss. The registration is free and rather fast. Mobile version works fast but sometimes we got mistakes, probably it was our fault because of unstable connection. We tried to post our resume this worked good with DOC and text files. but you should avoid PDF and many other formats. The size of your resume can’t be more than 200 kb, sometimes this mens that photos or designer features must be excluded.
