USA Jobs and Careers

Below, you'll find our definitive list of some of the best job sites in the USA.

These US sites will allow you to upload your resume and search for jobs based on a number of different criterion, such as your job title, your industry or sector, plus of course salary and location.

The land of opportunity is huge of course and across the length and breadth of America there is a massive variance in cultures. Each state does things in a slightly different way and this may impact on employment as well.

There are a lot of useful US resources below to get you started on finding a job in the USA.

Clearly proper research would be advisable before deciding on which part of the country you would want to work in.

Certain parts have a reputation for sector specialism, 'Silicon Valley' for example has a vast range of cutting-edge Tech companies including start-ups, whilst Los Angeles of course is home to Hollywood movies.

There is also a more relaxed working style in the likes of companies such as Google and Apple that nurture new ideas and talent. This is a far cry from the stiff upper lip of a traditional UK-based organisation.

Visas and work permit requirements should be investigated fully and typically the acquisition of such things will be the responsibility of the job seeker.
