General Job Search Engines and Classifieds

With the sites below, you can expect to get a 0.5 to 1.0% response rate (people who will respond back to you to whom you sent your application/CV.) Nevertheless, I encourage you to give these sites a try as you never know what you will come up with or what connections you can make from a simple e-mail or application.

  • Emploitic: The biggest search engine for jobs in Algeria. I like how they have a feature that enables you to apply via LinkedIn.
  • CareerJet: I’m sure you are probably familiar with CareerJet. They have job opportunities in Algeria.
  • Bayt: If you have really specialized skills (e.g. accounting), I encourage you to take a look at Bayt. They don’t often have a boat load of opportunities in Algeria, but they do have some.
  • MyPerfectResumeHandpicked sites that enable you to search for employment in specific countries and/or regions around the world.

Overseas and Expat Job Portals

  • Go Abroad: I’ve always been a fan of GoAbroad. In fact, on the visa information portion of my website, you will find where I have linked to their global embassies directory. They have a good job portal too.
  • Linkedin: Last but not least, this huge professional social network is a resource for building contacts in the field and location of your interest.
