I don’t know anyone that isn’t using Indeed or LinkedIn these days.
- And both are horrible while being nearly mandatory for job seekers.
- So does linkedin, haven't tried indeed or at least I didn't have to try it yet thankfully.
Shit, indeed actually got me a job once, and I'm starting to look again after 8 years.
- same, i however dont subscribe to thier "contact you by recruiters, since you get flooded with indian recruiters of questionable positions, and jobs im not eligible for. unfortunately for the field i was trying to get into, wasnt helping so i found just a regular job in the mean time.
Its amazing the things that came out of the tribune that then fall apart once they go off on their own. Haven't seen an apartments.com commercial in awhile. Wonder how they are doing?
- I saw one of their Jeff Goldblum ads within the past week, so they're still airing.
surprised monster survived this long, thier listings are quite limited in comparison to the larger ones like indeed and glassdoor. indeed used to have a forum section, where you would discussion potential grad certifications to, such as CLS in the west which is notorious difficult to apply to.
