These websites will allow you to upload your resume and cover letter, if needed, along with relevant certifications and previous work history that might relate to the job you are applying to.

Have a specific job in mind?
Sometimes the best way to find a job is to look specifically at companies you are interested in working for. Almost every company has a "Careers" page that can let you know what positions they are hiring for.
For example, if you are interested in working in retail, go to the websites of the stores you are interested in and see if they have any job openings in your area. This is also a great way for the company to see your application quickly because it will go straight to their hiring managers.
