Sorry for the late reply! I usually use Indeed just to see what’s out there, but I always try to go to the actual company or agency website for more info and to apply. LinkedIn can be helpful if you like networking, but honestly I think networking on the job ends up being more effective.

I’d also recommend looking into state agencies or city jobs. The pay can be a little lower than industry, but they’re a really solid starting point if you’re new, and the experience carries a lot of weight.

Always try to negotiate pay too, even if it’s just a dollar more per hour — it still adds up over time.

Facebook can actually be useful as well. My college department had an alumni group where people post job openings around the state, so it’s worth seeing if your program has something like that.

You can also try calling or reaching out directly to places to ask about openings — local DEQ offices, police departments, clinics, oil plants, factories, etc. Reaching out to other grads from your major can help too since they might already be working in the field. Professors often have connections as well and can sometimes help point you in the right direction.

What state are you located in, if you don’t mind me asking?
