re: How did you find your current job?

A former colleague started at my current company about 5 years ago. Randomly saw a posting on Glassdoor in December of 2015, sent him a note and asked him how he liked it here. Talked for a few minutes, sent him my resume, got a call within 48 hours from Talent Acquisition to set up a phone interview, everything proceeded from there.
FWIW, I'm 11 years into my career and have never used a recruiter, nor have any of my close friends and colleagues. Typically, I find that it's about having a link to the company and then interviewing well from there. Internal referrals get hired at a MUCH higher rate than resumes off the street or externally recruited candidates.

Applied as a joke but needed a part time job so I took it. Turned into a career.

Started from the bottom.
Put in time. Took extra work.
Made myself an asset. Now in charge and travel with company.
Mostly being patient and letting my work speak for itself. Nudged into new projects to be noticed.

Indeed website. However, I'm currently looking for ways to network in SELA while living in Georgia as I will be moving back in 10 months.

TexAgs.com job board. I'm so serious. Was sitting in my Air Force outprocessing briefing in Missouri and threw up a desperate flare of a post to try to find a job in San Antonio.
The Association of Former Students is the real deal, and I'm forever grateful

Companies come after you for the real good paying jobs. Put yourself out there and start networking with people in the field you want to be in. If you are worth it, the offers will come.
This is good advice
Also if you're a likable person do something like joining a country club. You'll meet lots of people that hire for high paying jobs and they'll come calling for you when they do.

An ad on a site where people in my industry go to bitch and leak shite anonymously.

I almost got a job from a hookup from none other than Hammertime, true story, dude isn't all full of shite irl although never met him in person and checked his knuckles....
But I've mentioned on this board a few times when looking for some entry level work in a new industry that I'd be willing to take recs from here.
But I'm pretty open on here and don't really try to keep my identity secret like many on the OT either

The company recruited me. I had a friend that graduated a year before me and he told his boss they could probably get me cheap. He was right.

I was volunteering with an after school program and the coordinator was terrible. At the beginning of the second semester, the director offered me a job to assist the coordinator.
I ended up doing pretty much everything on top of what I had already been doing as a volunteer. At the end of the year I replaced him, and now I am the program coordinator.

Applied for about 50 federal jobs all over the country before I was told the secret's of the application process that OMB goes through.
After that applied for three jobs got three interviews, three jobs offers and accepted the best one!
ETA:
Previous job I got with the State was because of the contacts I made in college! Got in as a student worker then when I graduated with my masters they hired me on full time
