I'd suggest finding specific companies you want to look for and looking directly on their website at openings. I fucking hate aggregator sites like Indeed. They're absolute fucking ass. Also avoid recruiters if you can. 99% of my interactions with recruiters have been deplorable and I find that profession to be an absolute joke.
Thanks I will try that. And I agree screw recruiters.
I think if you're really not finding anything and you just need a job, then recruiters can probably get you a job. But if you want an actual career job or you are trying to be more targeted in your approach (which may not be an option for everyone, I absolutely understand that) then going direct through companies can help
Also if you're newer in your career then maybe a recruiter can be helpful to get you in the door.
Essentially I really hate recruiters but I am also hesitant to tell people not to use them. I just hate them lol.
