I want a new job......
Discussion
Hi
I'm totally sick of my current employer for various reasons so I am going to look for something new.
I'm out of practice with respect to "job sites" so whats the current favorite or go to site?
In the same way everyone uses Rightmove to look for property, what would you recommend for employment?
My skill set is very much Aerospace and Automotive engineering based, it it helps.
Thanks in advance

I've found LinkedIn to be useful for jobs... Ok they don't come to you, but if your're on there the jobs page should point you to vacancies in relevant industries.
I'm already on Linkedin but really must get round to updating my profile. I can see it being useful although I can't help thinking it's a bit like a "Facebook" of jobs!
Linked is is the biggest spam producing pike I have ever used.
For me it was useless, I never got any calls from it from agencies or anything.
Jobsite, indeed, cv library.
Worst ones are monster and toitaljobs, the searches rarely link to what you want and their sites are slow and full of adverts.

As a manager with responsibility for recruiting I would definitely suggest Indeed backed up by a solid LinkedIn profile.
I've tried using a few platforms for finding staff but have had best results with Indeed.
Thanks for the tip. I've tried using a few platforms for finding staff but have had best results with Indeed.
Always nice to have advice from someone on the inside.
Like most things LinkedIn is only as good as what you put into it. A good profile is only the first step. It is in this sense like a CV. You can have the nicest CV in the world but if nobody reads the damn thing you won't get a new job. Use the site for networking, contributing to discussion in any relevant discipline or industry groups, comment on articles posted by other people. Share some articles that you like or which demonstrate your professional interest and thinking. All these things keep you popping up on searches or on your connection's front page. Connect with any relevant industry recruiters. Then you will see what jobs they are working on from time to time.

What level are you at in terms of seniority and salary? Don't be coy, just say.
Amazing. An actual recruiter (well, sort of) asks a pertinent question - ignored.Mike, a bartender from Hull and Tim, an electrician from Barnstaple offer anecdotal advice and get immediate action.
I am, of course, pulling your leg. That said, it might be worth your while to pop up an answer to the couple of questions I asked, OP.
