1. Simply Hired

‍

Pros

• Can see salary
• Filter by visa sponsorships (but sometimes companies say “you need visa sponsorship” without offering to sponsor you - so read the job description carefully)
• Can see company ratings

Cons

• Not all postings are for tech jobs
• Can’t easily find when the job was posted (if it’s outdated)

Tips

• Apply even if you don’t meet all the degree requirements - amaze them with your project experience instead! Show off the portfolio project you created with an EntryLevel program

2. Jooble.org

‍

Pros

• Can see salary
• Can filter by date of posting
• Can filter by work experience → internship

Cons

• Not all postings are for non-coding jobs (a lot are for software engineers)
• You have to apply for the job through an external link

Tips

• Even if you’re not a software engineer, follow the company on social media if you like them! Then you can stay updated if they post a job in the future that’s more aligned with your goals (this is actually how I got my job)

Here’s an example of a job posting I found on Jooble.

This company even said “skip writing cover letters. Tell us about your most passionate personal project” which is the perfect opportunity to share your EntryLevel portfolio project.

Note: this job was posted more than 2 months ago.

3. Landing.jobs

‍

‍

Pros

• Can see salary
• Can filter by “Fully remote - Global”
• Can filter by experience level
• Can see the average hiring process
• Can find jobs just for contractors (instead of full-time hires)
• Referral bonuses available
• Match you up with jobs after you fill in your profile details

Cons

• Not all postings are for non-coding jobs (a lot are for software engineers)
• You have to sign up to apply for jobs - however, I signed up to test it and it’s completely free and super easy (just upload resume and skills)

Tips

• Do some research for your salary expectations and learn how to negotiate your salary - some of the job postings here ask you for your salary expectations upfront

4. VanHack

‍

‍

Pros

• Can see when job was posted
• Can filter by remote or relocation
• Some jobs share salary ranges
• Referral bonuses available
• You can see if the company has already hired other employees through VanHack before
• VanHack has events with more opportunities

Cons

• Most postings available are not entry-level
• Not all postings are for non-coding jobs (a lot are for software engineers)
• You have to sign up to apply for jobs

Tips

• Search for your target role (senior level) and see what the requirements are. That’s your guideline for what you need to learn and the experience you want to get in the next few years

Here’s an example job posting I found for Senior Product Managers on VanHack.

‍

‍

After reading this job posting, maybe you’ll create a plan like:
