Here are my top 4 job sites for entry-level and early career tech roles 👩🏻‍💻

I’ve stopped using sites like Indeed and ZipRecruiter as much since they’re typically the same jobs listed with thousands of applicants which means you’ll likely never hear back from them. 

These are job portals that I’ve personally had pretty good experience with and have gotten interviews and offers from. If you’re currently in the job market, I'd check them out!

1. Apprenticeship.gov - https://www.apprenticeship.gov/apprenticeship-job-finder 

This job portal seems much lesser known but has great listings for apprenticeships and other job opportunities from employers across the US. I’m expecting the job listings on this site to grow as the White House initiative to push for skill-based hiring INCLUDING more apprenticeships and earn-and-learn opportunities. 

2. BuiltIn - https://builtin.com/

My favorite job portal! I got my last job and 3-4 interviews from applying to jobs directly on BuiltIn. I find that they have much higher quality job listings compared to other job portals, this is the one I recommend to everyone. 

3. Startup.jobs - https://startup.jobs/ 

Great job portal for anyone applying for tech startups but I’ve also seen larger Fortune 500 companies and tech unicorns hiring on there as well. There’re also much more remote and “work from anywhere” jobs since this site is catered towards smaller tech companies that are typically more open to full-remote work. 

4. LinkedIn Jobs - https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/ 

The OG job portal! Even though this one is relatively mainstream, I do like the overall job application and candidate process on LinkedIn Jobs. One thing to note though is that more candidates tend to use LinkedIn to search for jobs since it’s very well-known so you may not hear back from as many roles compared to the other sites I’ve listed. Regardless, there are plenty of quality job listings on here. 

At the end of the day, the job application process is a numbers game, when I applied for internships and full-time roles in the past, I’d send out hundreds of applications and a handful would result in interviews and even fewer into offers. 

Keep your head up and keep applying. I’m rooting for you!
