Is there any better career sites / job sites other then Careerbuilder, Montser, Jobster etc.. anything else that might land a person that need's a better job etc.

Check with you unemployment office. Or see if your local paper runs employment adds.

Careerbuilder has got to be the best in my opinion. Just make sure your resume is formatted to what recruiters and HR reps are currently looking for.

ha ha Career Sites..well the best jobs I found are the ones you get from a Friend of a friend,of a cousins buddy..or something like that and he hands in your resume to the guy in charge and says:" Oh he/she is the best for this job. He/She is awesome."

But as far as careersites..well um Volt and Spherion. They are both temp agencies,but they kinda replace that friend you may not have in the job u want. Its really all about connections landing a good job..that and experience of course.
Not all tempjobs are temp..and some of them pay VERY well..
But yea Monster,Careerbuilder..sometimes even just the companies site directly,that u are interested in working for. Just go to their website and look for job openings.

What kind of formatted do recruiters use ?. I have my being uploaded through wordpad, since I don't have microsoft office on my pc.

I have gone to some companys websites and I understand the job market is bad but it can't be too bad where companys aren't willing to hire etc.

I even called some companys too that I may want a job at just to see what I might be finding out.

If an online application is not available from the company,
another option is to go to the place of business and fill out an application and give them your resume. Many companies still do that. They keep your information in their files.

I've been hired that way. Many companies don't advertise openings.

Last I heard the unemployment rate in the US is 6%..people w/Bachelors Degrees are like doing Highschool Grad jobs..its insane!!!

To be exact, it's 6.5% and in 2000 it was 4.0%. They're anticipating that it will reach 8% before it's all over. Let's hope not!

it is insane....have so many friends with college degrees, bachelor's and master's....making 8 and 10 bucks an hour. Truely disparaging....

Yes, true and surely I also know this as I've done it before.

It was just a reminder because it sounded like you were doing so much online.

Thanks for the reminder, I do most of my job hunting online since most places tell you to go online now a day's, but some don't it's like a 50 / 50 chance now days.

No big deal.

Surely if I see something in person I'll try to find out about that first but most of the time I hear go to are website etc.

I really want this one job which is closer to where I live, however it seem's tough to get into like most places, I tired calling them tonight but no body was there that answered the phones in the part of the company I was calling, so I was told to call back tomorrow which is what I plan on doing.. see what happens.

indeed.com list all jobs from monster, careerbuilder, craigslist, hotjobs, etc.

Hmmm.. I never heard of that site before, thanks so much.
