Where to Look

Networking. Networking can be done in person or online in a variety of ways. Acquaintances, friends-of-friends, and those you've met through online hangouts (Slack, HackerNews, LinkedIn, etc.) can be valuable connections when looking for a job. Online meetups can also be a good option. 

Company websites. If you find a particular company that you are interested in working for, the best place to look for jobs will likely be their website. Check out the "Potentially Interesting Employers" section below and click the links to begin exploring company websites. 

General Job Boards. Job boards generally have a lower yield than networking or company-specific websites. What they offer, however, is a vast assortment of potentially interesting jobs all located in one convenient place. Some of the most popular general job boards include: 

• Handshake

• LinkedIn Job Search

• Indeed

• Google Jobs

• ZipRecruiter

Industry-Specific Job Boards. More specific job boards can serve as a middle ground between the specificity of company websites and the overwhelming abundance of more general job boards. Some relevant industry-specific job boards include:
