In early August, Forbes Leadershipput out a call for nominations for our inaugural list of the best career websites, largely inspired byForbesWoman’s annual list of Top 100 Websites For Women. We endeavored to assemble a comprehensive guide to smart and engaging sites. To accomplish this we challenged you, our readers, to submit your picks for the best online destinations for interns, job seekers, business owners, established professionals, retirees, and anyone else looking to launch, improve, advance, or change his or her career.
We received a wealth of comments, emails and tweets with your choices–about 1,500 of them, naming roughly 700 different websites. To taper the list down to 75, my colleague Susan Adams and I combed through the stack and hand-picked the sites we thought our readers would find most compelling and useful for things like job listings, facts and figures, and career insights and guidance.
Susan has written an accompanying post with our picks for the ten best sites from our list of 75. She reminds readers that while there are some great resources on the web, they shouldn’t spend too much time on the Internet scouring listings, reading career advice or blasting out their résumé. Especially for those in job search mode, it’s better to spend time researching companies, networking and meeting people face to face.
Our full list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career is not a ranking and there are no winners or losers; it’s simply a compilation of nominated sites that we believe deserve some special recognition. The list includes blogs, job aggregators and boards, personal career coaching pages, and traditional media outlets’ career sites that could be useful to those in traditional 9 to 5 office jobs, Federal workers, work-from-home professionals, entrepreneurs, college students and retirees.
Here’s our first-ever list of the Top 75 Websites For Your Career (in alphabetical order):
Owned by The New York Times, About.com offers a
wealth of free information for job seekers and those looking to advance their
careers, including articles about everything from how to get along with your
boss to questions not to ask an employer during an interview. About.com also
links to other sites focused on specific careers like advertising or
criminology, that have articles on topics like copywriting or the day in the
life of a police officer. Users can also read up on the history of various
fields, find a list of schools where they can study for a particular degree, or
peruse an article on the most popular jobs in a given field. The site links to
job listings powered by Indeed.com. Job search and employment expert Alison
Doyle has been About.com’s job search guide since 1998.

involves an on-screen interviewer asking questions like, “tell me about
yourself,” and “why are you interested in this position?” The user then records
her answer and watches it back onscreen. The site offers numerous tips for
different stages of the interview process (sample answer, in part: “I love
managing teams and solving customer problems.”)
