Top Tools for the Modern Job Hunt


The days of walking into a business and handing your paper resume to the manager are long gone. The modern job hunt is a digital battleground. To win, you need the right tech stack.

1. The Anchor: LinkedIn

If you aren't on LinkedIn, you don't exist professionally. Treat your profile as an expanded, living version of your resume. Ensure your headline is punchy and your "Open to Work" settings are appropriately optimized for recruiters.

2. The Core Engine: ResumeCareerHub

You need a centralized dashboard to run your campaign. Our platform provides exactly what you need without the bloat:
- **Instant ATS-Resume Builder:** Export pixel-perfect PDFs to beat the parsing bots.
- **Kanban Application Tracker:** Visually manage your pipeline so no email falls through the cracks.
- **Cover Letter Generator:** Automate the most tedious part of the application process.

3. The Discovery Engine: specialized Job Boards

While Indeed and LinkedIn are great aggregators, specialized boards offer higher quality leads.
- For Startups: YC Work at a Startup, Wellfound.
- For Remote: WeWorkRemotely, Remote.co.
- For Developers: GitHub Jobs, StackOverflow Jobs.

4. The Network Multiplier: Apollo or Hunter.io

Sometimes applying through the front door isn't enough. Finding the specific email of the hiring manager or department head and sending a polite, direct message can bypass the ATS entirely. Tools like Hunter.io help identify specific corporate email structures.
