Important Things to Note:
While job search boards do their bit to bring the hottest job offers to you without too much hassle on your part, you should also draft an impressive resume for use in your application process. Some job boards like Indeed and Recruitment Trust have a paid offer to create one for you using available templates. You might need to draft a cover letter as well if the company requests for one.

It is also important for Jobseekers to create a LinkedIn profile; your LinkedIn profile is shared with the recruiter every time you apply for a job. On LinkedIn, not only do you get access to job listings, but you also get the opportunity to connect with recruiters and experts in your field for free.

To Get the Most out of Job Boards:
  1. Turn on job search alerts for your dream job on multiple job boards. Here’s how to do so:
  • Search for job postings by title
  • Filter the presented job listings by preferred location, qualification and so on.
  • Turn on job alerts for similar jobs.
2. Apply to suitable job postings as soon as you see them.

3. You don’t have to meet all the requirements to apply, if you are a 60% match that’s enough.
