I have been using Indeed and it had found me a couple of jobs, but neither worked out. But it continues (eveh though I tried to mark it not to) shows me nothing but bullshit sales job, which half look like scams. And my local paper the Tulsa World is down rigjht scams. Craigslist used to be good for this, but longer. And doing a Google search for jobs is a crap shoot. I just want a place that can upload my resume and have a decent shot at getting a well paying job. Any ideas?

I'm not sure if there is a good one out there. The current market for skilled labor just seems to be really dry. That, combined with the massive influx of botspam and fraudulent candidates, and the hyper-arbitrary, hyper-selective AI gatekeeping resume scanners HR departments insist on using... makes it really difficult and random to even get a callback for jobs you'd be perfect for.

I know that's not of any direct practical use, but I hope it helps to better understand that if you're not having much success getting interviews, it's likely not your fault. We really are at a systemic tipping point for job-seeking and what's been working a long time (companies post jobs, candidates apply for them) is no longer viable.

That said, here are a few job sites I've been using and/or that I've had success with in the past. Some may or may not still be around:

  • Hired.com
  • TripleByte (acquired, now defunct)
  • Welcome to the Jungle
  • Built In
  • LinkedIn
  • Workintech.io
  • Techjobsforgood.com

I found this somewhat recently. It is basically a list of job boards. You can give it a job title and it will perform a search for that position in the chosen job board posted in the last 24 hours.

There's still LinkedIn, which could allow you to connect with the job poster to follow up after applying, which could be good.

Finding a job is different in different locations and sectors, please add what city you are located in, and what sector you are looking for work in.

OP mentions The Tulsa World so I guess he's near Tulsa in Oklahoma.

Definitely make a LinkedIn page and hit up recruiters for your industry and roles you’re applying for. Make sure your profile matches all the keywords you’re seeing in job listings that you’re targeting and recruiters will eventually come to you. Good luck!

I'd suggest finding specific companies you want to look for and looking directly on their website at openings. I fucking hate aggregator sites like Indeed. They're absolute fucking ass. Also avoid recruiters if you can. 99% of my interactions with recruiters have been deplorable and I find that profession to be an absolute joke.
