Are you looking for a job in accounting? How about big data and statistics? Or maybe a job with a flexible schedule?

If you want to boost your chances of finding an opening, make sure you are sending your resume to the right online job boards.

While there are some big, well-known job boards that list a wide variety of openings in any number of occupations, there are also dozens of niche sites that specialize by industry, type of employment and specialized skills.

Say, for example, you have a U.S. government security clearance. Check out ClearanceJobs.com or ClearedPath.com. Or maybe you want to drive a truck. Go to JobsinTrucks.com.

Or maybe you’d like to work in a restaurant. There’s PoachedJobs.com or Culintro.com

Some of the niche boards are even more specialized. If you’re looking for a sales job, check out SalesGravy.com or SalesHeads.com. But if you’re in medical sales, try MedReps.com.

Keith Wolf, managing director of the recruiting and staffing firm Murray Resources in Houston, likes to compare the niche online sites to niche magazines.

Probably every industry has one, said Wolf, and they’re a valuable way to find openings.

The key, though, is the online site has to be specialized enough to be attractive to job seekers who use it but not so narrow that it doesn’t post enough jobs or have enough job seekers applying, he said.
