In the MBA career search, there are countless online channels through which MBA students and professionals can find prospective job and internship opportunities. In addition to both their own personal networking and their MBA program’s campus recruiting, most MBAs are familiar with and have experience using the major job search engines, such as Monster, CareerBuilder and Yahoo! HotJobs, to identify opportunities of interest. However, many MBAs have found these search engines to be disappointing and unfruitful due to the abundance of irrelevant results. Also, job seekers must visit all three search engines in addition to any other channels that they use separately in order to maximize their opportunities. This can be quite wasteful of a job seeker’s valuable time and energy.
There have been a number of recent job search engines that have stepped up to resolve this issue. Based on personal experience and the feedback of real MBAs, Indeed.com and LinkUp.com are considered some of the most effective job search engines on the web today.

Indeed.com
Indeed is one of the leading job search aggregators, a term referring to job search engines that collect job listings from other search engines, websites, job boards, newspapers, blogs, career pages, and associations. Indeed is easily compared to a career search Google, helping job seekers to match their search queries to the most relevant of millions of job listings from thousands of different sources, including the major job search engines. Indeed provides job seekers a great way to optimize their job opportunity identification process and in turn, saves them time to apply to more opportunities.
LinkUp.com
LinkUp is a unique job search aggregator, for instead of only collecting job listings from other job boards, it goes directly to the corporate and employer websites to collect only the most relevant and most current job opportunities. Job listings from over 11,000 corporate and employer web sites from around the country are posted on LinkUp, and because they come from straight from the source, there are no spam or duplicate job listings. Only an average of 20% of all job opportunities are advertised through third-party job postings, and so, LinkUp offers job seekers a way to explore and uncover a great deal more of the “hidden job market,” or those opportunities only posted on the employer’s websites.
Using both of these search engines together in your career search efforts will ensure that you don't miss any potential opportunities of interest for which you are qualified. In addition to taking advantage of top job search engines like Indeed and LinkUp, here are two more ways I can help you in your MBA job search. First of all, please visit MBA Highway as your source for MBA jobs and internships, as well as MBA-level career resources. Second, please join MBA Highway on LinkedIn to network and connect with thousands of fellow MBAs and MBA-seeking employers and recruiters.
