Google Does Jobs

[kcnychief]

This is pretty neat.

If you go to Google, and do a search for "jobs", it will prompt you to refine your search. Check out the IT related jobs near my zip code...

http://www.google.com/base/search?a_n0=jobs&a_y0=9&a_o0=0&a_v152=01001&sl=on&a_v215=information+technology&a_v215=&Submit=Search+jobs&a_y152=6&a_n152=Location&a_o152=0&a_t152=30&a_y215=1&a_n215=Job+function&a_o215=0&oi=gb_refinement&ct=b&cd=1

 

[omg its nlm]

wow that is cool.

 

[kcnychief]

Yeah - I found a few real gems in my area that I may have applied too, or maybe not

 

[mlakrid]

Yea but almost all of them were listed on careerbuilder already...

True, but this solves you from having to visit multiple job sites. Run a query in one place and it searches all of them for you simultaneously

I will give you that, it seems to me they are biased towards careerbuilder, I made it a point to search for jobs with the following key words:

network, security, engineer on several sites including: Dice, monster, careerbuilder, and our TBO.com (local website)

and I had more hits on Monster for my area than I did on careerbuilder, and Google mostly only showed the ones from... you guessed it careerbuilder...

I Love Google dont get me wrong, it just seems that they should be equal... UNLESS, monster doesnt allow webcrawlers or something?

Or unless one company pays more than the other to appear higher in search results

or there is always that...

Isn't google base something which companies provide information for google to index. Maybe its just that CareerBuilder are the only ones which have submitted information to be indexed.

Anyone can submit information to google base, but yes.
