Online Job Site Vent

Posted by Paym Bergson Apr 21, 2008

I'm really getting tired of online job sites - so many just post scams or old postings. To be fair, the job sites should not have to verify that the postings are real. But to not archive old postings (let's say six months or more) is just false advertising that the site has more postings than reality.

Monster's new look is a real pain. Now I have to figure out which of the myriad of categories I think an appropriate job might be listed under - as I am limited to a max of 20 categories per search. I tried this a few times, then gave up. It was a frustrating experience which yielded no perceptable gain on results due to my efforts.

My favourite (um, my OLD favourite) is now a site to be avoided. Craiglist is a free posting site, and I (and others) used to be able to pick up some good contacts, work, etc. Now, it is filled with "earn while you sleep" type of ads. Yep, I did answer one of those, to see what it is about. Anything where you pay a "start-up fee" and get money for "signing others up" is a scam, no matter how many times someone tells me they made money on it. Yeah right, you made money by signing other suckers up.

So, anyone have a good job site out there? Feel free to vent about your own personal experience too!
