This. The posting boards are worth checking once a week or so, but probably not your best source if you're looking for more experienced roles (unless you work in IT or manufacturing).

Is your job search public? Make a list of everyone in your network who might be able to point you towards opportunities at their organization or in their network. Rank them by how close you are and/or how likely they are to have good leads for you. Work your way down your list and send out *personalized* emails (or LinkedIn messages) to each of them inviting them to catch up and letting them know that you're looking for a new opportunity. Schedule Zooms or coffees with anyone who's open to catching up.

Spend some time on LinkedIn and see if you can figure out which recruiting companies/consultants get hired to recruit for roles like yours/your industry sector. It's totally acceptable to reach out to these folks and let them know you'd love to learn about any opportunities that might be a good fit for your expertise and experience. Many accept resumes via their websites.

It's also worth searching LinkedIn posts for a jobs/job "roundup" and seeing if there's anyone in your industry/region who regularly shares a list of jobs they've come across.

And ask around...last time I searched, I discovered that a long-time colleague was sending out a weekly list of jobs to anyone in our network who asked to be added to her email list.[/quote]
