If you're unemployed, at least you can console yourself with the knowledge that you're not alone. Jobless claims are at an all-time high, and the body count grows by the day. The downside to the whole "misery loves company" thing is that it means heavy competition for the jobs that are available.
With such a tough job market, you need to step your game up a notch. One way to do this is to specialize. Instead of spending all your time filtering results at huge job sites like monster.com or careerbuilder.com, look for sites catering to specific industries where you have experience or a burning desire to break in to. Not everyone posts on the larger job sites, and companies looking for employees with specific skills may use a more specific job site to find the right people.
Here are some job sites to visit if you are interested in starting a career in…
Media:
mediabistro.com
Journalism:
journalismjobs.com
Healthcare:
advancedpracticejobs.com
empoweringhealthjobs.com
"Green" technology:
coolclimatejobs.com
Education:
academickeys.com
These are just a few examples--there are tons of industry-specific job sites online. Just start at Google and search for "jobs" and the field you're looking in. Finding a job isn't always easy and can be a very time-consuming process. Hopefully, these sites will lead you to some new opportunities. Happy hunting!

Hi
i recommend adding careerjet.com and careerjet.ae to the list as well.
hmm also for turkey kariyer.net
and for the uk i think gumtree.com is good too
Hi Esra. These are cool international job resources. Kariyer.net is entirely in Turkish, but if you're dying to get a job in Turkey, try translate.google.com to translate the website. Thanks for the suggestions!
