Where to look: Job boards, Slack channels, Google groups, and more
NRG specializes in getting the word out about open positions. Yet, there are a zillion job boards out there. This is a great list.
If you are looking for your next career move, you probably don’t want to miss any opportunities but it can be hard to know where to focus your attention. I usually spend quite a bit of our ad budget on LinkedIn but I also have some other favorite places where I post.
Hot-Tip: Make sure your LinkedIn profile is up to date and that you checked the box to let recruiters know you are looking for a job. Doing this will have the LinkedIn algorithm work in your favor so job posts will come to your inbox.
I love the sites below and I have met some great people by posting there. In addition to learning about job openings, you may also broaden your network as well.
