Job Salary Search Tool


Working on your degree or certification and interested in what you might expect to make when you embark on your new career? I have a great tool for you: Indeed.com's Salary Search feature.

Indeed.com is one of my favorite job search sites. I used its email job alerts tool during my last job search and found it super useful. One of the other tools offered on the site is the aforementioned 'Salary Search'.

Yes, like the rest of the Indeed.com job search site, the salary search section is...well...'no frills'. However, I think many will find this feature useful despite a lack of visual pizzaz. :)

It's a snap to use: simply enter a job title and location, click 'View Salary' and you'll be presented with a series of graphs/charts detailing the average salary for the location specified, national salary trend for the position you searched for, and jobs that might interest you based on your search.

I especially like the 'compare' feature that allows you to compare salaries among various locations for the same job title or among various job titles in the same geographical area.

How accurate is it? Based on strictly anecdotal evidence, it was very accurate for a few searches I performed. Of course, as with all tools like this, you'd be wise to take the results with a grain of salt.
