General international job search sites
The world wide web is overwhelmingly crammed with sites full of advice, self assessment tests, job advertisements, resumé storage facilities and email alert subscriber services.
It’s a great place to start your research but it is also important to be choosy about which sites you trust. This is especially the case when posting your resumé or applying for positions online.
If you come across a web site on our list which no longer functions or you feel is inappropriate, please let us know via email: enquiries-careers@unimelb.edu.au
