I have been using Indeed and it had found me a couple of jobs, but neither worked out. But it continues (eveh though I tried to mark it not to) shows me nothing but bullshit sales job, which half look like scams. And my local paper the Tulsa World is down rigjht scams. Craigslist used to be good for this, but longer. And doing a Google search for jobs is a crap shoot. I just want a place that can upload my resume and have a decent shot at getting a well paying job. Any ideas?
Last time I was looking for job I just looked up companies from my field and sent them an email. I sent two emails and got 1 interview. Didn’t get the place though, so I just employed myself then.
Thanks grandpa. Did you walk in with a firm handshake too? /s
Jokes aside, I understand this worked for your industry for trade work but the OP asked for job websites.
No, he was the boss’s child
What do you do? And I am thinking of doing the same.
Seriously, I know it sounds old and stupid, but every single opportunity I’ve had, I got because I went in and asked.
Plumber by training, but these days I work as a self-employed general contractor / handyman.
My thinking is that companies looking for employees get flooded with nearly identical applications, so it’s hard to stand out. I’d rather just email, call, or even show up in person and ask for work - whether they’re actively hiring or not. It shows initiative.
Honestly, I didn’t even want the position - I only applied to keep my unemployment payments going. I spent maybe five minutes writing the application and still got the interview.
