What do you think about applying for jobs through a site like Indeed or LinkedIn vs through the company's own site? Does it make a difference? I've always shied away from the aggregators because I've heard it might not get to the right person.

The best thing is to apply directly to the company and that way you can see if the job is still available.
I use Indeed and Glassdoor, I have learned that just because a job is on a job board that the company will get it or the job is still available.
You also have to realize that just because a job is posted on a job board like Indeed, Glassdoor, LinkedIn, etc. that is a real job

That's a very good point. I have seen roles on other sites that are not on the company's own site.

Direct is supposedly better, but I still use LinkedIn/Glassdoor/Indeed for the most part because it's just easier. If I only applied through company sites, I'd get maybe 10% as many applications out as I do through job boards.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
