Hi Michael:

According to ConsumersAdvocate.org, here are the best hiring websites:

- ZipRecruiter
- CareerBuilder
- LinkedIn
- Monster
- FlexJobs

https://www.consumersadvocate.org/job-search-sites/lp/best-hiring-websites

Here are other hiring websites to consider:

- Indeed
- Simply Hired
- Glassdoor
- Dice

When applying for a position, a checklist is good to go by:

- Research what the position entails
- Look at the job description and see where your background, skills, etc. matches what is required
- Research what the salary ranges are for the position
- Years of experience needed for the position
- Check out the company's website

Network ... Network ... Network ... the more people who know that you are looking to purse career opportunities ... the better your chances of learning more about the industry that you are interested in, getting hired, etc. Sometimes it is not what you know, but who you know. Also, family, friends and high school teachers and guidance counselors may know of contacts in the industry that you want to get into, so ask them as well.

LinkedIn is a great platform to connect with professionals across various industries, related or not related to your own field. One can search and view a company's profile, available open positions, professional profiles, etc. Within the news feed, one can view postings and announcements from other professionals.

With LinkedIn, members can send InMails to directly to each other without being connected to one another. Professionals who are directly connected to each other can send regular LinkedIn messages to each other. Professionals who pay for the premium service on LinkedIn have access to the InMail service feature.

Directly from LinkedIn Help:

"InMail messages is a premium feature, and it allows you to directly message another LinkedIn member that you're not connected to. If you have a Basic (free) account, then you can only directly message LinkedIn members that you’re connected to. You must upgrade to a Premium account to use InMail messages. You can’t message a member if they’ve chosen not to receive InMail messages in their message preferences settings. You’re allotted a specific number of InMail message credits based on your subscription type. You can find the number of InMail message credits you have from your My Premium page."

"Premium InMail message credits can't be used to send InMail messages on Sales Navigator or LinkedIn Recruiter."

Hope this helps and best wishes for your career search!

Gucci’s Answer

LinkedIn is a good place to find jobs: https://www.linkedin.com/

I found my current job at Canva through LinkedIn. Connecting with people you know and growing your network there can help you land jobs as your connections can vouch for your skills by listing their endorsements in your profile.

Good luck!
