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:

Branchout: Search your friends' contacts to find a job/customers

This is a great tool for jobseekers and those looking to network. It roots through your friends' information to find out company names and associations.  Most jobs are given through referrals.  BranchOut lets hiring managers and business owners see who to headhunt from friends/contacts and we get to see what companies we wish to join via our friend network.  My favorite part?  The job listings.

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.
