Career Corner: The Search |
Where should you look for job postings? There are dozens of websites, but the sites below are good starting points:
Handshake is a great first stop for students. Every job on this site is posted with UW students and grads in mind. The site also has networking, employer research, and event registration that is very helpful for students.
LinkedIn lets you apply to jobs, and then network with people around the job.
Dice - technical job postings
ZipRecruiter - automated “suggested jobs” algorithms
Monster - one of the classic job board sites
Indeed - a job board that crawls the web to find as many jobs as possible.
Glassdoor posts jobs, and is also a great place to research market and salary trends.
