Top Job Search Websites

From wait staff to marketing managers and temporary promotional work, you can find and apply for jobs easily from the comfort of your own home. To help you look, here are the best websites to find a job in Australia.

Seek

With a professional layout and over 130,000 jobs in Australia and overseas, you might just find your next career move on Seek. The search bar is clear and precise with keyword, location, salary and industry options, although the latter may not be necessary i.e. you’re not going to find many waiting vacancies that aren’t in the hospitality classification. You can filter the results further by choosing the type of work you’re after, or change your previous choices, on the left hand-side banner. It’s not just a potential employee that searches on Seek, for employers themselves can view your profile and see your skills.

Indeed

Indeed lets you manually search for what you want with just a what and where criteria. State a keyword or job title, choose your city or state and you’re given a list of matching job adverts. You can condense your search with salary, job type and title. With over 40,000 new jobs up for grabs every week, you’re sure to find something here.

Career One

Boasting over 400,000 opportunities, you can search for full-time, part-time and casual work by industry, with image tabs leading you to specific roles and the number of openings in each. Industries are distinguished by headgear, or you can choose from the alphabetical dropdown menu (not all industries can be defined by hats). What makes this site so unique is its Tasks section. If you can’t find the full-time job you’re looking for, or you don’t even have a job, but want to use your skills to get some extra cash, there are nearly 500 tasks advertised on Career One with people looking for someone to clean their home, create a logo for a website, or repair a broken lock.

Australian JobSearch

Trusted for being a government website, Australian JobSearch is possibly the most varied and extensive you will find. Searching by industry is the easiest option, with categories listed alphabetically, followed by city, state or region. Once you’ve chosen your preferred location, the list of jobs appears, which you can refine by location, occupation, job type, and length. The industries can be extremely broad, and job listings include guitar teacher, plant mechanic and concrete worker. In some openings, there is more than one position available, so chances of acceptance are higher. Anyone looking for regional work will also benefit from Australian JobSearch with Harvest Trail – a list of fruit and vegetable picking openings that you can apply to for your second year visa.

Gumtree

One of the less professional websites, Gumtree is the place to go for casual or temporary work. The initial search is vague but “jobs” is at least a category, offering a little more faith. You can then define your search on industry and location, which is necessary if you’re looking for something specific. Roles advertised include a sales assistant in a chocolate shop, a senior hairdresser and a fundraiser. So it’s not just for finding a second hand washing machine.
