I FINALLY GOT A JOB!!!!

[Goosemaster]

craigslist > *.*

40k
awesome benefits
allows me to go to school

anyone with me? t

he big sites never really work for me...maybe I'm just under qualified or something, but I NEVER get a response. With C'sL I had various phone and in person interviews in two weeks.

I tend to find it much better when looking for part time jobs, but I don't know if the same can be said about full time career jobs. Needless to say, I did find a decent part time job that was extremely flexible regarding my semester schedule.

Congrats. You should learn how to type before you go to work, though.

 

[zoiks]

I found pretty much all jobs that I've had except the first one on CL. But then I live in the bay area.

CL is great if you manage to find a position that you're interested in. monster and careerbuilder are resume databases and not much more.

I was just thinking of posting a thread on this topic, heh.

I'm not really looking to change jobs, but I saw a few good jobs so I sent out 5 resumes on Sunday night. I had 1 interview on Tuesday, one yesterday, two phone interviews today the 5th place just sent me an email to setup an interview. I was quite shocked with the responses honestly.

exactly.

It's the absolute opposite of the major firms. All I got from them was recruiter spam. Dozens of recruiters with mountains of spam (voice and email).

I?ve had luck with both

Got my current job from a staffing firm, they called me actually, found my resume on CB I believe, had 3 or 4 interviews in various DPTs at the company I now work for
