I would visit indeed quite regularly for postings but I now find that LinkedIn is much better for the type of positions that I am looking for. I actually think that LinkedIn is a great resource for a wide variety of uses if you take the time to dig into it. Obviously it is great for networking. One thing that I usually do if I see a job posting that interests me is to try to find the direct manager for that position and introduce myself. Outside of networking, LinkedIn learning is great. I'm lucky to have received a free subscription to it from my current employer so that I can access anything I want. I have about 50 courses shortlisted right now. Another great thing that I have found on LinkedIn is user groups. As a Geologist there are lots of technical user groups that someone can join. The user groups for Geology/oil and gas/drilling are great because a lot of experts are actually willing to share presentations and videos and provide free training sessions and seminars.
