Job Hunting

Nothingman54

I havent worked in 2 years, now im looking for work. I search Yahoo Hot Jobs, but now there is so much bullshit out there, scams and stuff, its fucking crazy. Not too many legit jobs. If you are looking for a job were do you look? Maybe it can help others who are looking. Thanks!

try a temp agency or if you attended a university or community college at some point then try the career center at the college

Where I live we check out the local newspaper first, it's a small town and thats where they tend to get put.

I've been intensively job-hunting for over a year now; it's so frustrating. Here's a few sites I check pretty much every day (most cover the entire country):

For government jobs: usajobs.gov

For non-profits: idealist.com

For media/publishing/writing jobs: mediabistro.com

Also, if you went to college your school probably has a career center...check with them, my alma mater has a website with a pretty extensive listing of local jobs.

Good luck! I hope it goes better for you than it has for me, stupid economy :evil:

i here ya. I cant find a damn thing. I have very little real work experience, and everything I see, requires experience. Its the old ridiculous trap: you need experience to obtain a job, but how do you gain experience if they wont offer you one?

I have been looking for a month and a half, and I am getting worried

Any chance you could do some unpaid work to gain some experience? I know quite a lot of people who've done this, including my hubby.

go to school

try manta.com
its not a job site, but you can get a list of every business in your town and area. from there search that business on google and see if they have a website. since not every business advertises jobs since it costs money, quite a few will list them on their own sites hoping people find it on their own. give it a shot!
