At first glance, all of the job sites look the same, but a closer evaluation reveals certain uniqueness in each of the many sites that serve the same purpose- helping you earmark on that dream job you want to be in-but in ways different from one another. Read on as LD dissects each of them and gives you an overview of what each is best for-especially in the paid premium services department.

Resume management – making you look good!
The best way to spoon-feed you during your job search is to take over one of the most basic, but most vital aspects of 'making yourself look good'. A unique résumé can help you stand out among the umpteen others who are seeking the same job. Jobsites have understood this fast enough to understand this and are incorporating résumé managers to help you create, manage and disseminate your résumé– at a small price, of course.
ClickJobs has an entire mini-site dedicated to résumés. Divided across three sections: Résumé writing, résumé broadcast, and résumé highlight. The mini-site offers these premium services at varying price ranges.

Additionally, the in-house résumé managers keyword your résumé to ensure that your prospective employer finds your résumé among the hoard of others. If you choose to, you can make the résumé managers create a personalized covering letter for you. Depending on your work experience, these services are charged between Rs 300 to Rs 1900. If you choose to create the résumé yourself, you can get it assessed and certified by the managers for Rs 250, from the point of view of an employer. Naukri, however, has a flat offer for résumé development (Rs 650 upwards), another for résumé boosting (Rs 990 upwards) and a 30% off if you choose both. Résumé development is essentially having your résumé created by the experts and résumé booster is to ensure that it is visible across the top 10,000 consultants and 50,000 HR managers in the Naukri database.

But what really sets apart Naukri from the other jobsites is the little personal space it gives you to search jobs, monitor résumé status, and intensify search. The MyNaukri section lets you do all this in addition to a Job Messenger, which gives you real time alerts on your résumé views and responses. Interestingly, there is also a confidentiality setting which enables you to shield your current employer from seeing your résumé posted online.

Your career vaasthu-Online
If you believe in stars and their positions having a say in your career, take a look at MonsterIndia.com's Career Astrology section, which studies the orientation of the planets in your chart to analyze your creative urges, motivations, the status of the planets in your natal chart and their effect on your personality and profession, your relationships with your superiors, co-workers and subordinates – all based on Vedic Astrology. If you furnish your date, time and place of birth, the site promises to give you the results within 48 hours at a flat rate of Rs 1000. The site also has a team of in-house astrologers to whom you can post up to two questions of your choice pertaining to career shift or career progress. This service is priced at Rs 1500, in return for a full-fledged report that will reach you within 5 working days. Another interesting resource in the site is a carefully chosen set of articles written by experts to guide you in a wide range of career related processes like non-verbal communication, negotiating salary, and even on topics like 'how to crawl back into the job you just quit'.

Right Jobsite does make a huge difference to the kind of job that you get .It ensures a smarter pay package and great profile

Getting paid peanuts? Do a salary survey
Shine.com, the latest entrant in the jobsites market from the Hindustan Times stable, has found a rather innovative way to attract users, especially those who are already employed in the field of their choice, and as a natural offshoot are not too happy with the work they are doing. Even though the site is currently only in its beta stages, it offers what it calls a Shine Salary Survey. It performs two roles -helps the site understand the exact nature of your work and the salary you draw, and two, gives you an overview of what you should ideally expect in your job specialization. This process begins with you having to furnish details about educational qualification, current area of work, an experience summary, inclusive of years of service and current salary, job preferences before the site records this information, suggests whether you should ideally be earning enough, and finally suggesting jobs (if available) that might suit your job profile.

Ladies only
Sitagita.com is a ladies-only networking site that has been around for more than 8 years, and is targeted at women from all over the country indulging in small businesses from home. The idea sprung out of the fact that every working woman goes through a stage in her life when she takes an extended maternity leave, where she keeps off work but focuses on her hobbies. These hobbies could range from jewellery designing, saree-pattern creation to interior decoration. Sitagita.com has created an extensive business directory in order to connect them with each other. The site's 'Women's Home Business Directory' has categories like beauty, food and entertainment, flowers, health, music/dance, and tuitions. Each of these sections has a huge number of listings from women who post their profiles, contact details, and brief descriptions of nature of work.

One stop shop
Imagine a site where the HR departments of the companies that are going to recruit you post their requirements directly for you to see, and you can respond directly to them. In addition, the company that hosts the website recruits you and places you as a contract employee in the company of your choice. Ikya (www.ikyaglobal.com) is positioning itself not just as a job site, but a whole nine yards offering for employers and job seekers alike.

On the HR side, the portal features staffing solutions, recruitment solutions, learning solutions and search partners. While the staffing solutions take care of the requirements of a particular company, the recruitment solutions department takes care of what the site owners call the temp workers, who work in a company for a stipulated period of time. Interestingly, Ikya has a separate section dedicated to fulfilling the upper rung recruitment requirements of a company. On the Job-seeker side, the portal gives you the chance to browse through the extensive database of jobs and companies in addition to a 'candidates' section for those who want to be incubated in a company as Ikya employees. The site is definitely different from the run-of-the-mill sites and promises to cater to more specific needs of the job seeker in the weeks to come.
