Posting your resume on the right sites increases your visibility to recruiters and hiring managers. In the USA, a mix of large job boards and niche or industry sites works well.
Major Job Boards
- LinkedIn: Create a complete profile and upload your resume. Many recruiters search LinkedIn first.
- Indeed: One of the largest job boards. Upload your resume and apply directly to listings.
- Glassdoor: Search jobs and upload your resume; also useful for company research and reviews.
- Monster: Long-standing board; upload resume and set up job alerts.
- CareerBuilder: Another major board with resume upload and job alerts.
Niche and Industry Sites
Use industry-specific boards (e.g., Dice for tech, FlexJobs for remote, Idealist for nonprofit) to reach targeted employers. Keep your resume updated on each site you use.
Tips
Tailor your resume for each application when possible. Use a professional email and a clear file name. Set up job alerts so you can apply quickly. Check privacy settings so you control who sees your contact info.
