Dice
The first thing that comes across is the refreshingly clean look of their site.
The menus and links are laid out quite intuitively and best of all you are not
bombarded by dozens of ads or being prompted to take a survey.
Actually, I seen very little in in the way of advertisement, not bad since this
is a free site.
A quick trial with their job finder tool provided me with a good selection of
jobs that potentially fit my criteria and skills. Of course, I potentially
exaggerated my skills.
Creating a profile was quick and easy and in no time at all I was ready to post
my resume. Resume, resume, resume.... Where did I put that stupid thing?
Oh, that’s right, the dog ate it. I quickly whipped up
a new one.
Once again, pretty straight forward. I like that they question you about your
different job skills and level of experience. Good supplemental
information to go along with your resume and I am sure it helps out the job
givers (God love them).
Creating a search agent was once again pretty intuitive and by the next day I
was receiving a list of all those poor companies that potentially could be my
next employer (tongue in cheek).
There were a lot of helpful articles on the site and some healthy discussions
in the forums.
Dice services are free. They did have some upgrade options that
would include things like see what companies are viewing my resume.
Can’t help but think back in my middle school days passing notes
to the young ladies at the time. If you like me --> check this box.
Anyways the upgrade also includes getting your profile highlighted
in employers searches and increases your relevance.
After having my resume posted for about a month on Dice, I can’t complain about
the number of views I have gotten or the number of follow up emails and phone
calls.
