Another top job search site: Indeed has around 250 million unique impressions every month and postings for any type of employment — part-time or full-time.
You’re able to make a profile that saves your resume details, making it easy to apply for jobs as they come up.

LinkedIn works as a social media site that will help you stay connected.
After setting up your profile with all your relevant employment experience, you can surf through the platform to build your connections and start networking.
You’re able to search for jobs tailored to retirees on LinkedIn. But the site is best used for connecting directly with past coworkers. You can then see what positions are available at their companies and, hopefully, score a friendly referral.
Let employers apply to you
Show off your resume. We will show your profile to employers that fit so they can invite you to apply. Candidates who are invited to apply are nearly 3 times as likely to get hired.
