Guides
Finding work
The board, alerts, Match and the market pages.
Find the employers that sponsor visas
Which employers sponsored last year, by company and role, from our H-1B page. The cap, the registration window, and the one sentence to put in an application.
Get a job at a startup
Where startup roles are posted, what to ask about money before you join, and how to value an equity offer without a spreadsheet you cannot check.
Get a job with no experience
Nobody hires on potential. They hire on proof. Four ways to make proof in eight weeks, and the resume that leads with it.
Good jobs without a degree
Which roles pay well and do not require a bachelor's, how to read a degree line in a posting, and the three routes that replace it: licence, apprenticeship, proof.
How long your job search will take
The median, the long tail, and what moves a search from one to the other. Our employment page has the current figures, by age and by industry.
How to read a job posting
A posting has four parts written by three people. Which lines are the job, which are a wish list, which were written by legal, and how to tell in two minutes.
Job alerts that bring you jobs
One alert per title, a narrow query, a daily cadence, and what to do with the first week of results. Set once, read on Monday.
Spot a job scam before it costs you
Where fake postings come from, why aggregators spread them, the five checks that catch nearly all of them, and what to do if you already sent money or a document.
What remote really means in a posting
Five kinds of remote hide behind one word. How to tell which one a posting means, where the limits are stated, and which industries hire remote most.
Where job listings really come from
Every posting starts in one hiring system. Everything else is a copy with a delay. How the chain works, which copy to trust, and why a listing goes stale.
Where the entry-level jobs are
Why an entry-level posting asks for three years, where the real ones are, which requirements bend, and how to count coursework, projects and part-time work.
Which copy of a posting to apply through
One job, six listings, three apply buttons. How to find the employer's own posting, when a copy is fine, and the two cases where the copy hurts you.
Why you are not getting interviews
The search is a funnel with three stages, and each one fails in its own way. The numbers that tell you which, and the one fix for each.
Your job search after 50
The data on longer searches, the resume changes that help, the ones that look like hiding, the law on age, and the channel that works better with age, not worse.
Your job search plan
The plan most people make lasts one week. This one is built around the drop-off, with a target, three channels, a weekly count and a Friday review.
Your new weekly job search routine
A fixed week with time boxes for searching, tailoring, sending and following up, and a Friday hour that reads four numbers and changes one thing.
