Searching for jobs in the UK has changed considerably over the last few years. This is mainly down to the amazing power of the internet. The traditional job search method of popping down to the local job centre and browsing through the vacancies listed on a board has now been replaced with literally thousands of online job sites.
So how do you choose a UK job site to begin your search?
Well firstly you have to understand the difference between a job board and a job aggregator. A job board like Monster.co.uk and CV-Library.co.uk accept job vacancy adverts from their Clients - normally Employers or Recruiters. These type job sites usually only display their own job vacancies.
Job aggregator sites (like Careerjet.co.uk) search the intire internet looking for jobs. When they find them, they display these jobs in a user-friendly way complete with a link to the original job board. This could save you a lot of time when searching for UK Jobs.
We would recommend a 'belt and braces' approach when searching for jobs in the UK - Register and upload your CV with as many of the Job Boards you can whilst keeping an eye on all the latest vacancies using a job aggregator.
