Summary
Finding the perfect job takes time, patience and the right resources.
One of the most powerful things you can do when searching for jobs is actively network.
Find people who have similar jobs to the one you are seeking.
Let them know you would like to learn more about their jobs and see if they know of any openings in the industry.
Don't feel like you are imposing on people by asking about their jobs.
Steve Dalton, author of the "Two Hour Job Search" told us, "It's an old maxim that 'interested is interesting.' They take a reciprocal interest in you because you have good taste in who you listen to speak, and that's where jobs come from."
Indeed: Indeed's main function is as a search engine for jobs.
Employers aren't charged to post jobs on SimplyHired, so the quality of the jobs may not be quite as high as on other boards.
The platform is well designed for bidding on jobs and communicating with those commissioning the work.
Professional organizations can be a useful way to network with people in your industry and give you access to jobs that might not be widely found on the job boards we mentioned above.
