A Search Engine for Jobs, Indeed!
Wouldn't it be great if one site allowed us to search across thousands of company websites and employment directories for job openings? Imagine just plugging in the job title you're looking for and location, and having the site return a long list of job opportunities. Well that is exactly what Indeed.com claims to do. The interesting thing about Indeed is that it looks and feels like Google, including the results page.
Indeed.com saves your most recent searches, and the results can be sorted by salary, company, job title, location and so on. You can also get email updates based on searches you've performed. For example, Indeed.com can notify you when a programming job that meets certain requirements becomes available in your area. So if you or someone you know is looking for a job, Indeed.com looks to be a great employment resource.
Here's a short video showing how to search for jobs on Indeed.com:

I’ve used Indeed for the past 2 years. It’s great. I recommend it to anyone looking for a job.
I have recommended it to my brother who is currently looking for a job.
