Feeling stuck in your job search? Explore 30 unique job boards that can help you find the perfect fit.
Navigating the job market can feel like a full-time job in itself, especially when you’re ‘fresh meat’ or, as they call it, entry-level. I know firsthand how overwhelming that transition from student life to the working world can be, not to mention all the mental calculations you must make just to get by.
The funniest aspect of the job-hunting process is that– from 2018 until now– it’s essentially been the same issue. Searching for suitable jobs is hell. We keep checking the same job boards and applying to the same places. But what if you had better search options? That would give you an edge and better your chances, right?
In this issue, we’re sharing a valuable resource: a list of 30 job boards you might not have considered, certainly different from the norm. These platforms can open doors to various career opportunities beyond the usual suspects, like LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor. Let’s dive in!
1. Hiring Cafe:
Lots of folks are getting back to physical office work. But even more are still working from home. Are you one of those looking for full-time remote work? Then, Hiring Cafe is your go-to for jobs that let you work from anywhere.
Editor’s Note: Here’s the thing about Hiring Cafe—you may need a VPN to access it. It’s nothing illegal, but for some locations, the site won’t load. Once your VPN is on (preferably set to the United States), the site works without hassle.
2. We Are Distributed
No VPNs are needed for this, and that’s probably a testament to the board’s “Find truly global, work from anywhere jobs” motto.
I’d say it’s an editor’s pick because it advertises jobs that truly do not care where you are applying from. It’s probably your best bet to land that dream job. And yes, the jobs are also truly 100% remote. It also comes with additional perks, like the community centre and a feature that shows recommended salaries for each role.
3. Workable
There’s a good enough chance you’ve encountered Workable in one or two other applications. Well, it’s also got its own job board that lets you explore various job opportunities across industries in the US and Canada. If you’re looking for something more local, Workable is bound to have those job listings.
4. Otta
Are you an ambitious tech professional? Otta is the job board for techies that connects you with exciting career opportunities in fast-growing startup companies.
What makes Otta stand out is its promise to ensure that you don’t waste time applying for jobs—which, as you may know, is a big issue in job hunting. Exciting jobs at innovative companies that will get back to you? Sounds like a steal, no?
5. Dice
Built for the Techies, developers, and engineers, Dice is your platform for a plethora of tech job listings across the US. You’ll need your VPN toggled on for this one, though, or else you’ll get a big fat 403 FORBIDDEN page.
6. eFinancialCareers
Away from the tech scene, this site specializes in finance and accounting and connects you with jobs worldwide in the banking, finance, and investment sectors.
