Reach
Job.com includes thousands of different job sites in its career network, encompassing over 35 million job seekers with a database of 10 million resumes. According to the company, 60% of these candidates are exclusive to Job.com, meaning they have accounts solely with Job.com and are using their site to secure employment. Each month, they gain about 200,000 job seekers and 20,000 resumes.Special Features
Job.com focuses on resumes as the connection point between recruiters and employees and so they have some special features related to resume writing and distribution. A resume-building wizard guides job seekers through the steps of creating a solid resume or re-writing a weak one. Their distribution service emails resumes directly to matching recruiters within a particular industry along with maintaining a database for all paying recruiters and employers to access. Another feature that sets Job.com apart is that employers pay for a certain number of job slots, versus job postings. That way, they can make unlimited changes to their job postings, including different positions, as long as their number of current openings corresponds to the number they paid for. This is a good feature for businesses that fill positions quickly: rather than pay for more job slots, they can fill a position and within the same month post a different listing in the same job slot.Experience
Job.com was launched in 2001, giving them over 15 years of experience in the job search industry.Customer Support

- Resources and learning materials
Resources and Learning Materials
Overall, Job.com is not very strong in the area of learning materials. Job.com has a pretty solid archive of blog articles for job seekers, but the blog is not updated, so it doesn't measure up to other blogs and learning sites with employment news and market-trend related information. Job.com does feature a page and accompanying widget-managed by CompareTopSchools-that can help match an individual's interests, experience, and location preference (state of residence or online) to college and university programs. However, identifying information, such as address and phone number, are required to see the results.The Bottom Line
