career.com: should you bother with this job site?

Originally described as the "World's First Recruitment Site", career.com has been updated with a new look and feel.

The original site was very dated and unattractive in comparison with other job sites.

The site is now run by Kenexa, an IBM subsidiary that provides software to aid organisations to find the right people for their organisation.

The new site has a very simple uncluttered layout, with just a search box and nothing else on the home page at all.

The search criteria offered on Career.com's home page is fairly standard: you can search by job title or keyword and location such as city, state and zip code.

If you click on Power Search, this yields additional fields that you can use to further refine your search. It's recommended that you use the Power Search, otherwise you're likely to end up with far too many results:

One major flaw is that you have to enter some keywords - so you can't just ask to see all the jobs in a particular profession at a particular location. If this flaw makes it more difficult for you to find what you want then try another job site such as Monster.

Once you've hit the search button, the site brings up the relevant jobs that match your criteria. The site seems to be funded by adverts from Google that surround the listed job vacancies.
