I've compiled and curated a list of job hunting resources for software developers, it covers resources for writing resumes, applying and managing job applications, efficient ways to prepare for coding interviews, resources to learn system design, you can download the free PDF here.
For this post, I am going to share resources that you can use in applying for jobs and tools to manage your applications:
Where to apply for jobs
There are some popular job postings aggregator sites:
- LinkedIn: I would say LinkedIn has most of the job postings for tech, and they often give you one month free premium trial, you can use that to see more analytics about an opportunity
- Indeed and Glassdoor: Still being used by many companies
- AngelList: more towards startup jobs
- Hired: more towards startup jobs
Don't forget referrals
The job posting aggregator sites are great, but if you can get someone to refer you to a position, it usually has abetter response rate, trying to reach out to your network for potential referrals is always a good thing to do.
How to manage multiple applications
If you are applying for multiple positions, you probably want to manage all these job applications with a tool or system to track progress and keep notes:
- Huntr: a great tool to manage your job search, the free tier should be sufficient for individual usage
- Notion: a powerful tool to write and collaborate, for example, you can use it to summarize knowledge for coding interview, write down behavior stories and ask your friends to provide feedback. You can also find beautiful notion templates to get started faster.
- Todoist: What's powerful about Todoist as todo app is its natural language todo creation and advanced filter views to track todo tasks
If you have seen resources that helped your job hunting process, leave a comment and share with more people :)
Next post I will go over how to prepare for coding interviews efficiently. Stay tuned!

Hey! To apply for IT/Tech positions, I leave you the referral link to Outdefine, our job board with several remote job searches open for IT or Tech profiles with different levels of seniority in different areas (marketing/software/development, UX and +), in case anyone is interested or knows someone with a tech profile who needs a job: outdefine.com/r/JulietaCura-4363
You can find many jobs for technical and not so technical, but digital profiles too. And you can also get rewards in tokens on the platform, connect with our community of professionals and companies in the Community section, and it's free to use, of course!
