Freebies for Jobseekers

Most of the big career sites offer free resources and support for jobseekers, from articles and advice to newsletters, resume critiques and more. The key to taking advantage of these freebies is twofold: limit the information you give them and don't agree to pay for anything.

Set up a freebie email account to subscribe to newsletters and register on these sites. That way, you can discard the email address when you're done with it (or if it gets overwhelmed by spam).

Here are a couple of free offers worth a look:
Get a free resume critique from A and A Resume
Let CareerBuilder email you with jobs targeted to your specifications
Get access to millions of professionals who want to give and get advice while building a mutually beneficial network on Monster.com
Subscribe to HotJobs free newsletter for job seekers with articles and tips on conducting your job search from networking and initial inquiries to interviewing and negotiating your salary requirements.
