Job Search Sites?
  • fratersangfratersang June 2009
    Just curious what kinds of sites you guys would recommend for job search.

    (other than career builder and monster of course)

    I take it you don't have friends or family, or friends of your family in your prospective industry?

    Nepotism always worked for me.

    It's been my experience that most job sites are pretty worthless.

    LinkedIn.Com

    But I know a few people from previous jobs, so I might have an advantage? idk. It really depends on what kind of work you're looking for. Details?

    Last time I was looking, I combined monster and linkedin. I posted through monster and got my referrals from linkedin, which keeps me at least remotely in touch with people I worked with several years ago. I got a couple of responses that way but ended up taking a job through a friend where I'm at now, so I only just followed up with those responses.

    Looking for work always sucks, I didn't mean to demean your efforts.

    Good luck!

    Networking can be the single greatest tool you can use to find a job you enjoy, so I also endorse linkedin. However, networking takes time, so it isn't something you can only do right before you want to be hired.

    You can always try something like monster.com, but I also think keeping an eye out in online classifieds (craigslist) is a solid option. Either way, you are going to have a difficult time finding a job in Michigan.

  • craigslist has been useful for friends in the past. also, check with your school (current or former) and hop into advising and ask about careers. if anything they'll at least point you into a direction that would work.

    Aside from college career services and/or job fairs, craigslist was the source that my friends had the most success with.
  • fratersangfratersang June 2009
    Yeah, never had much luck with any of the sites I've mentioned.

    Had more luck with the local paper, or university job boards and the like.
