Upwork

Upwork isn’t a traditional job board, but it can be one of the smartest tools to use while you’re searching, especially if you need some extra cash while you hone your skills. 

Rather than helping you find a traditional job, Upwork provides opportunities for freelance work. This can help fill gaps, bring in income, and help you build experience to make your resume feel more current. The iPhone app makes it easy to respond quickly to invites and messages, and speed really matters here. When a client posts a project, they often start talking to the first few decent applicants who respond with a clear proposal.

If you use Upwork, keep your offers specific. A focused, well-thought-out profile that says exactly what you do and who you help is more likely to land gigs that don’t feel like a grind.
