I'm really hard up on a job here, and I could really use some help here. I've never had trouble finding one before...But it seems like Sitel has blacklisted me from...hell everything, sense they fired me (
)
Anyone know any good job sites that dont have a lot of spam to slog through, I've spent hours searching, only to never find anything?
This really depends on where you live and how badly you want a job. There is always opportunity around the corner, if you really want it. Here's how I go about finding a new job:
1) My top two favorite places to job search at, online, are: Monster.com and Craigslist.com
I start there. I usually find a few leads through there and send out emails and applications.
2) I send out applications to major retailers such as: Electronics stores, game stores, ?-marts, corner stores, Grocery stores, etc. These places have online job applications (usually) and are easy to apply to. So shoot out apps to as many as you can think of.
3) I wait no more than 2 weeks for a response from these applications and emails I have sent out. During the 2 weeks, I will find phone numbers for the places I have contacted and try to find out if my application has been looked at. Chances are that it has not. I try to encourage my potential employer that I really want the job and that he/she should at least see me for an interview if they can find the time.
4) After the 2 week period, if I have no nibbles or interviews lined up, I get desperate. I literally plot a course down a busy market street near me and visit every single store/business. Car Washes, Gas Stations, Car Mechanics, book stores, etc etc.
If I dont have a potential job lead after step 3, then step 4 is what always gets me a job.
If you need a job then you will find one. The problem with most people is that they are picky. They are beggars who want to be choosers. Well you can't beg and choose at the same time and be successful.
You might not find a job you really
want, but at least you will have a job until you do find the right job.
