I’m a member of CareerBuilders.com and Monster.com just to name a few. I recently updated my resume which is very well written (thanks mom) and uploaded it into Career Builders. I decided to really treat this website like a full time job by figuring out how all the tools work on the stupid site (let’s call it what it really is). So, as I carefully filled in all the blanks to better my search results, I discovered a feature that would allow recruiters to distribute my resume to employers that best fit my criteria. Well, after completing a 4 step process I was ready to click the submit button and WHAM!!! Yeup, just like that, Career Builders wanted 0 to complete the process as it’s NEVER ONCE mentioned in their 4 page questionnaire…until the very end. Did I break out my credit card and punch in my information in hopes of landing a job? Hell no!!! As you can see I’m a little pissed right now. I don’t think anyone should have to PAY money so they can get a job. Besides, I’m sure websites like that make plenty of money by the amount of adds that pop up on their sites like all those wannabee universities and what not.
O.k. I’m done venting.
Does anyone know of any legitimate websites or organizations that specialize in truly helping people like me find a job? Thanks.
I posted this question 2 weeks ago. For what ever reason, someone reported this valid question to yahoo. My question was then yanked following a threatening email about violating terms and conditions. The option of an appeal was also included in the email. SOOOOOO, what did I do? I APPEALED, and I WON!!! Why would anyone in the answers community be offended by such a good question that has enormous validity? Thank you YAHOO for re-posting my question. Many people who are in similar, desperate circumstances can benefit from this question as well. I don’t just post these Q’s and A’s for just me.
