Features Round-Up:

 

One of the most famous job hunting websites. I think this was the first ever job hunting website I used-probably because I saw the TV adverts. A nice design (very purple), neatly laid out.  They have a good search engine for finding jobs (can search by job type/location).

Just like the Job Centre Plus and Department of Work & Pensions job seekers, this job search website, the official one from said DWP is below par. Compare it to just about any of the other commercial job hunting websites and you'll see what I mean.

But, notice how their are far fewer jobs advertised on here then any of the other job hunting websites. Coupled with the other available articles and information, it just has that 'empty feel'. Have a look at what the government are offering job seekers, website-wise, then take a look at monster.

And what's with the annoying logging off the job search page after a couple of minutes, reseting all search results. Frustrating.
