Blogging4Jobs Listed as Top Career Website by Forbes - Workology Named Forbes Best Career Site in 2012 Named Forbes Best Career Site in 2012 Since 2007, Blogging4Jobs has been providing content of the career, HR, and workplace  variety with over 1,100 publish blog posts since its inception.  That, my friends is a lot of blogs and is nearly 600,000 words give or take a few thousand.  Were excited, humbled, and honored to be listed among Forbes Top 75 Career Websites.  The list includes the usual job search suspects including job boards like Monster, Dice, and CareerBuilder; job aggregators like Indeed, LinkUp, and SimplyHired; social media search tools like Tweet My Jobs (read our review of TMJ); and the ever-popular LinkedIn.  Personally, I call LinkedIn the marijuana of social media.  Its the gateway drug of social networks because its simple, professional, and doesnt cross over into the gray area of personal sharing.  That gray area is where people get confused.  Sites like those mentioned above are invaluable to the online job search as they provide a list of job postings and openings for the active job seeker. The list included a number of blogs as resources which I believe is invaluable to the passive as well as active job seeker.  Managing your career involves planning, knowledge, and education into the inter-workings of the organization where you work, the industry, and your competition.  And by competition, I mean your peers.  I was excited to see a number of blogs who made the list that provide important insights into the hiring process, getting promoted, and the job search. Some of my favorites from the Forbes 2012 Top Career Sites list: Evil HR Lady.  One of the longest standing HR blogs, the Evil HR Lady provides an honest approach into the world of human resources.  Ask an honest question about your boss, getting fired, or the hiring process, and shell give you a real response.  Check out Evil HR Lady.
