I'm about to graduate and looking to start my job search, but there are so many job search engines out there. Which one do you think is the best for recent college grads looking to start their careers?
There are indeed plenty of job search engines out there and the best one can often depend on the specific industry you're interested in. That being said, there are a few that stand out for recent college graduates.
LinkedIn is one of the most popular job search sites for recent grads.

Additionally, it allows you to network and connect with people in your desired field.
Indeed is another resource many college graduates find helpful. It aggregates job listings from thousands of other websites, which means you can find a wide variety of job postings.
Glassdoor provides insights into a company's culture, salaries, and interview process through reviews from current and past employees, alongside job postings. This can give you a better understanding of what working at a specific company will be like.
Lastly, for jobs specifically geared towards fresh graduates, you might want to check out WayUp. This site specialize in entry-level jobs and internships for recent grads.
But remember, while online job searching is essential, don't forget about networking, it's still one of the most successful ways to land a job.
