Clients often ask should I be applying to job boards? Is it worth my time? Here is a job board strategy you can feel good about.
Go niche – is my answer.
I never recommend clients rely on a “post and wait” method of applying to jobs listed on the large job boards as the numbers don’t work in your favor, but niche boards can bring a stronger chance for success versus the larger boards and can be an effective part of an overall job search strategy. I believe in this so much that I include a customized list of niche job boards in all of my résumé development packages in the hopes that my clients will learn of one or two new good ones for their industry.
