Another strategy you should try is to follow influencers in your particular industry for the most relevant updates about your sector.
Also, if there are specific companies that you would like to work for, follow them on Twitter and connect with them on other social medias as well. You’ll be informed about the companies’ brands and cultures and may even hear about new opportunities first. Many companies share their own job openings on their social networks.
