What sites are actually useful when you’re looking for a job?

I’ve used Indeed but didn’t get much from it. LinkedIn helped me get a temp job, and I even got one from Craigslist but I quit last week. I also tried ZipRecruiter, Monster, Glassdoor, and FlexJobs with no luck. Any other good job sites I should try?

Same here..job boards are mostly just for finding openings, but I get way better results applying directly on company sites once I spot something relevant.

It seems like finding work online has become harder since 2020. I know the pandemic messed a lot of things up but I didn't see quite the struggle before this. I used to use a few different sites when looking for myself or to help a friend but they are gone. I don't know what happened to them. Worked better than the ones you mentioned.

At this point, just think of what you would want to do (a title for the job) and just start searching local businesses that would have such a position that may need to be filled. Even if they aren't hiring, chances are they will keep you on a backlog.

LinkedIn and VC firm job pages. VC sites are useful for spotting which portfolio companies are hiring.

There use to be a website that would compile job listings nationwide from Craigslist and it was fantastic. It also scrapped through the results and removed the scams but they seemed to have shut the site down 4 or 5 years ago. Unless they changed the URL, I'm not sure.
