SimplyHired.com, a Good Basic Job Search Engine

Found yet another job search engine, called SimplyHired.com, right now in beta. I love the look of this; it's so, well, simple. A nice change from the crowded screens of many other specialized job search engines.

How SimplyHired.com works. Pretty much like any other job search engine, however, I noticed that they tended to pick up a few more jobs in the out of the way places that I was looking at. Plus, their error messages are funny.

The SimplyHired Forums look to be relatively busy; it was fun to eavesdrop on some of the conversations going on here. All in all, a nice little job search engine; I would suggest especially the My Jobs feature. You search for jobs, then next to each listing, you have a ratings system of between "not interested" to five stars being the most interested. Once you start rating these jobs, you are creating your own page of Favorites, and you can scratch notes underneath each one. This is nice for remembering which ones you're looking at or have applied for already.
