Job Boards

In addition to networking and building connections, utilizing targeted JOB BOARDS can be key to a successful search. There are multiple types of sites that serve different functions for different audiences, so make sure to take the time to analyze which sites could work the best for you. These resources can be stand-alone job listings, be a part of a professional organization or employer, or be one of many functions within a website such as LinkedIn or IrishCompass.

Whatever the case, try to take advantage of the full features of a site such as making your CV/resume public and setting up job email alerts based on your preferences. Several types of job boards are listed below. Listings do not imply endorsement by the University of Notre Dame nor Graduate Career Services. The resources are provided as potential information sources only.
