When you start looking for jobs, you might find yourself overwhelmed by the number of options. That is why we recommend narrowing down your search, so you can focus in on the right opportunities. Using different types of job boards based on your goals can save you valuable time and energy. Just make sure that you have an optimized marketing resume and a strong marketing portfolio before you start applying to jobs.
We rated each job board for scale (number of opportunities available) and quality (average conversion rate for each opportunity).
Best marketing job boards
General job sites
1. LinkedIn
Most people start their job search with LinkedIn, often setting up their profile when they start school. But just being on the site isn’t enough for you to find a great job. You need to make sure that you optimize your LinkedIn profile and include your past experiences, projects, and links to your portfolio and the work you have done.
Their job board is robust, but you might have some difficulty if you just search “marketing” because it is such a broad search term. If you are just starting out in your career and you don’t know what types of roles are right for you, trying looking for ones that need less experience. Searching “junior marketing manager,” “marketing associate,” or “entry level” positions will help you find openings that match your background.

2. Google Jobs
Google gathers all of the job postings on the Internet and houses them on Google Jobs. All you need to do is type “marketing jobs” into your Google search bar to access it. It’s surprisingly good! They automatically add your current location to the job search, so be aware if you are looking for a job in a different city.
Scale: 2.5/3 | Quality: 2.5/3 (especially if you sort by recently posted)
3. Indeed
Indeed is one of the largest job sites, so it is not as specialized as some of the other specific boards. However, you can narrow down your search by filtering for proximity to a city, salary estimate, job type (full-time, part-time, internship, contract, etc), company, and experience level. Once you have these in place, you should be able to navigate the list more easily.
