With well over 50,000,000 users in the past 15 years, Job-Hunt is among the most trusted and popular job search advice sites in the world.

Job-Hunt Is Dedicated to Helping Job Seekers

Job-Hunt is dedicated to the millions of people who have had their personal lives disrupted by the loss of a job.

Job loss still happens to good employees, and the rate of unemployment typically increases and decreases based on what is happening with the employers in your location and also what is happening in the world’s economy. Of course, global pandemics also wreak absolute havoc on the employment market and have devastating unemployment consequences.

Whether you are unemployed or entering/re-entering the job market, finding a job can be a complex process. And regardless of your reason for unemployment (fired, laid off, quit, or new to the job market), we understand that finding a new job and regaining an income stream is your main goal.

A job loss can be a new beginning as well as an ending. A career is a journey, not a destination! Don’t give up!

Susan Joyce, who ran Job-Hunt for over 20 years, had been laid off twice and both times resulted in a change of direction of her career that made her both happier with her work and also increased her income. That result has been achieved by many MANY people who became unemployed. If you are currently unemployed, we wish the same result for you!
