Tired of Indeed? Here Are 5 Other Places To Find Jobs Online

"Sometimes you have to put your eggs in more than one basket to find your perfect job."

This is the advice that I gave my best friend who had lost faith and confidence in herself while job hunting. My BFF had been circulating her resume through almost every job posting on Indeed and ZipRecruiter.

After submitting over 30 applications within a matter of days and getting zero responses or feedback, she became weary and thought that just maybe it wasn't her time to get a new job, or a fresh start in her life.

While venting to me about her job search woes, I explained to her that other jobs exist outside of the job search realms that we are used to. Besides Indeed, LinkedIn, Monster, and ZipRecruiter, there are hundreds of other online job search engines and boards that can help you find your ideal job. And lucky her, she's landed a few interviews!

I've rounded up my favorite job search engines that partner with thousands of companies and post dope jobs on a daily basis. Some of these job search engines and job boards were created for people like you and me (the Millennial woman), and some are hidden gems that everyone deserves to know about. #thankmelater
