    I have been looking for a job for 4 months now and have never used LinkedIn to search. I had very good experiences with Google for Jobs, where I could set up alerts for certain search terms and the radius in which I was searching, whereby you can also exclude cities if necessary. This meant I didn’t have to use another job board, I only used it for forwarding. Since the last rework, Google for Jobs almost always finds the company websites with the job advertisments directly, so I no longer have to look at job boards at all, a very pleasant experience. I used LinkedIn once to test it and all that came up was generic crap, it’s unbelievable how a site that’s supposed to be about professional life can be so sub-par at finding jobs. And just to conclude this post, I successfully found a job with this method.

      Indeed has always been the best one in my personal experience. Monster is making comeback, which you just love to see when an old dog learns new tricks.

      I never knew Google for Jobs existed. I will try it out, hopefully I can get something out of it before Google kills it.

        Lol… I almost instinctively didn’t even bother looking for it because OP used past tense, so I assumed Google already eliminated it like many useful things they invent.
