Examples include topresume.com, thejobnetwork.com and blog.aftercollege.com. Check each site's current guidelines before you pitch.
Career sites attract a steady stream of buyers: recruitment agencies, CV writers, HR software, training providers and coaches. It's a niche where useful advice changes people's lives, which is why editors want writers who know the job market from the inside. It's also a niche where sites come and go, as job boards merge and recruitment blogs are shut down.
This page pulls the career sites out of my free list of websites that accept guest posts, which I re-checked site by site in September 2026.
How many career blogs on my list still accept guest posts?

| Career sites on my list | 63 |
| Live when checked | 49 |

More than one in five career sites was dead or parked. Recruitment businesses change hands often, and their blogs are often the first thing to go when they do.

Job seekers, employers or career changers?
Career sites usually write for one side of the hiring table:
- Job seeker sites want CV, cover letter, interview and job search advice.
- Graduate and early career sites want first jobs, internships and the move from study to work.
- HR and recruitment sites want hiring, retention, culture and recruitment technology.
- Career change and later career sites want retraining, returning to work and working past 50.
Recruitment software and HR tools belong on the employer side. CV and coaching services belong on the job seeker side. Pitching a hiring tool to a job seeker blog wastes your time and the editor's.
What do career editors want?
Advice readers can use today. A job seeker reading a career blog usually has an application open in another tab, so the best posts are specific: what to write, what to cut, what to say in the first minute of an interview. Recruiters and hiring managers bring real authority here, so if you've hired people, say so.
Editors are wary of promises. Don't claim your advice will get someone a job. Say what has worked for the people you've helped, and leave it at that.
Free guest post or sponsored post on a career blog?
Many career blogs accept free posts from recruiters and coaches, especially with fresh advice. Sponsored posts are faster and more predictable, which suits HR software and recruitment brands placing posts for a campaign. Either way, check the site is live and still writing for the readers you want.
How do you check a career blog before you pitch?
- Search site:domain.com. If very few pages come up, move on.
- Read the three newest posts. Is the site still publishing, and who writes for it?
- Check the region. CV rules and employment law differ, so a site written for one country may not suit another.
- Find a name. A real editor you can email beats a form that never replies.
- Ask if posts are permanent. Some sites prune old content in clean-ups.

How should you pitch a career blog?
Name the reader and the moment. "What to say when an interviewer asks why you left your last job" is a pitch an editor can picture. Add a one-line summary, your hiring or coaching background, and two alternative titles.
Timing helps here too. January is the busiest month for job hunting, graduation season brings a wave of first-job searches, and editors plan for both. Pitch a few weeks ahead.
Fresh data helps a career pitch stand out. If you run a recruitment business or an HR tool, you may already have useful findings, such as which job titles get the most applications or which interview questions candidates struggle with. Editors like a post built around one clear finding from your own work, explained plainly, with practical advice that follows from it. Be clear about where the data comes from and how much of it there is, and don't stretch a small sample into a big claim. Readers making career decisions deserve that care.
Can you place a career post on my blog?
Yes, when it overlaps with business and marketing: personal branding, LinkedIn, freelancing, starting a business, hiring and the tools teams use. These fit my readers well. lilachbullock.com is a marketing blog that's been publishing since the dial-up days, with thousands of indexed articles, and my readers are business owners, marketers and entrepreneurs, mostly in the USA and the UK. Guidelines are on my career page.
How placing a post on my blog works
- Email [email protected], or start on my write for me page, with your target URL, topic and niche.
- I reply with whether it fits and which format I'd pick: a new sponsored post or a link insertion into an existing, indexed article.
- You send the article, or I choose the right existing article for your link.
- I edit, publish and send you the live URL.
Accepted posts usually go live within 24 to 48 hours of everything being agreed. Placements are permanent. I invoice by PayPal, and if you're an agency, I never contact your client.
