There are over 25,000 job boards worldwide! ? And yet, some folks will still tell you not to use them. Their advice? “Skip job boards. Just network.” I respectfully disagree. Here’s the truth: Job boards still land people jobs. But you can’t rely on them alone. You need a multi-pronged job search strategy—one that combines: ? Smart job board use ? Intentional networking ? Direct outreach ? Targeted personal branding In my latest newsletter, I break down: ✅ Which job boards actually get results in 2025 ✅ Real application-to-hire data ✅ My top 10 strategies for using them effectively (spoiler: ditch those outdated alerts ?) ? Because with 25,000+ boards out there… the question isn’t “Should you use them?” It’s how you use them that counts. ? So let’s hear it: What’s one job board (or tactic) that actually worked for you? Or… what’s totally overrated in your experience? Let’s crowdsource the truth about job boards. #jobsearchstrategy #jobboards #jobsearchtips https://www.linkedin.com/posts/melaniemitchellwexler_jobsearchstrategy-jobboards-jobsearchtips-activity-7351600312064884738-FXRH?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAE7zOABz83nZb53qdeC66Dyj4MTQ6Hhhqw

Not necessarily a dream job, but a job that paid well, treated you respectfully and allowed you to work with pride. Oh and have a true work life balance, so that you could raise your children and pursue interests in peace. I am looking for realistic life inspiration for myself!

I joined without a boss and that role was filled in April. Things have gotten extremely intense since my boss joined and I haven’t hit the very aggressive goals, that honestly seem unrealistic. I took a huge paycut for this job, over 50% thinking it would be worth it for lower stress. But it actually feels just as stressful as my prior field, with significantly less pay. My colleague keeps urging me to stick it out for awhile, but I actually think this role & environment is a bad fit for me. If I start job searching will being under a year in my role work against me? I haven’t job searched so quickly into a new job before. Any tips for navigating that?

Yes, your resume matters, but it’s not the magic key. Too many job seekers spend weeks tweaking bullet points while ignoring the bigger picture: Are you applying to the right roles? Are you networking? Are you tailoring your applications? A polished resume supports your strategy, but it doesn’t replace one. You could have the most beautifully written resume in the world, but if you’re applying blindly online, not leveraging connections, or chasing roles that aren’t aligned with your skills, the results will still be disappointing. Here’s the truth: Job searching is a full system, not a single document. Want results? Focus on: - Clear goals - Smart targeting - Consistent outreach - And yes, a great resume that reflects all that.

I don't know what I am doing in my life right now. I have never been confused. Let's start with my professional life. I have wanted to quit for so long, but there has been no job offer. Struggling every day. Personally, I am in a relationship and we wanted to get married, but the guy's parents are not ready because I am 2 years older and different caste. They are just like I am not matching their criteria. Now, he is ready to leave his parents and marry me, but how do I convince my father to get us married? He is a heart patient, and I can never leave my family. My parents have done a lot for me, and I can't go against them. I can be a rebel and not marry anyone, but is it sensible to ask your father to get you married to the guy whose parents are not ready to even meet me? So tired of everything now.

Your resume isn’t just a list of jobs. It’s your first impression, your pitch, your permission slip to get in the door. After working with hundreds of job seekers, I’ve noticed a pattern: the best resumes aren’t just “well-written.” They’re strategic. They show value, impact, and intention. But here’s the thing—we all approach resumes differently. So I’m curious… What’s helped you land interviews (or stand out in a sea of sameness)? And if you’re feeling stuck? I’ve got resources to help. ? #JobSearch #ResumeTips #CareerCoach #JobSeekers
