job-hunting

I'm a student looking for a job as a Jr. Sys Admin / Information Security position. The moment I click search from simplyhired.com or dice.com my job gets complicated. It's so hard to spot the ones that you definitely want to apply for.

So, just share your story of how you spot your current job online? What factors did you consider before applying? And any tips for young job seekers.

Thanks :)
