how to find a job?

Re: how to find a job?

craigslist and most online job sites are over loaded with either "make money at home" crap or scams (one in the same), or people looking for personal info to sell or staffing agencies.. real job opportunities are few and far between.. pounding the pavement, networking or job fairs seem to be the only legit ways to find employment. my roommate has been on the search for months too and has figured monster, hotjobs, craigslist etc, are pretty useless.. unless you want to be a telemarketer

dunno mate i , had luck in the past with craigslist so do many people that I know that live in big cities .

The best job that i ever got was through craigslist , but I do have to say this was 3 years ago I dunno if things have changed as of late

M&I dont have a branch in dallas.. all i got from monster and these websites are companies that offer u to become a life insurance agent, as well as a couple of work from home but i would have to buy something first, i keep on trying jp morgan but theyre being very picky, there are lots of people in the finance field that lost their jobs, and whoever used to be a manager will settle now for an analyst job, which makes it harder for us coz there are all these overqualified ones that are applying for the same job and salary and the recruiters end up hiring them because they seem like a good deal to them, i think im gonna have to start visiting the companies directly and hand in my resume to them and see how that works, i wish i had some equipment to start working on track while im free....

lol, exactly.. I know from personal experience.. I agree it used to be a decent site for jobs..But, it's definitely a great site for looking for apartments or buying and selling items!

If you go to the site and click on any job category there is a full page disclaimer regarding all the crap that is on craigslist
