Get a new job with Indeed (or search millions)

I'm a huge fan of Indeed.  It's available in 24 languages and 50 countries.  It's free to job seekers, the site crawls and gets information from other job boards and employers can post directly with Indeed. They have an affiliate program if you want to earn money and they're hiring.

Sample search result listing:

Biz Spark-What made me fall for Microsoft all over again

Ok, so I don't like every product, but Microsoft BizSpark is a program that Microsoft got right.  They help tech startups within the first 3 years of operation.  The startup gets free professional software from Microsoft, the chance to be a Start Up of the Day (wide exposure over Facebook, Twitter and more), access to capital, access to experts, student help and other great features.  Not interested in being an entrepreneur? That's ok...you can find talent here too.  They have a DreamSpark program for students and another program for those interested in web development.

Odesk

Odesk is one of my favorite sites for freelancers.  I know there's Guru, a similar site.  However, I like the insurance plans at Odesk.  There's something about being able to get into a group insurance plan that this freelancer likes.  Don't let the online environment scare you.  Yes, you have to interview for some of the jobs.  But, there's a job tracker, money is paid in advance to Odesk for certain jobs, there's a time tracker utility to make sure that you get paid (or that your contractor is working).  It's great for writers, designers, developers, editors, etc.  If you've ever wanted to be a virtual assistant, you can give it a try here too.
