Honestly I have been without a job for 10 months now. I decided to leave the job I was at because I didn't want to deal with certain hazardous materials. But I'm starting to think that was a terrible decision. I was going to make good money due to no rent and bills except insurance payment. If decided to just get any type of job save for about 3 months and move back home. I though that was going to be easy, but NOPE. Not even mention that I have a 4 year degree with 7 years experience I can't snag a job for anything.
I typically use indeed/monster/careerbuilder, and in my experience these sites are a complete waste of time. Most of them are filled with scam's (Craig's list being terrible). There are numerous jobs out there that seek specialized skills that nobody has, or an extremely small percentage of people have. Jobs that have terrible job description written by clueless HR members. Companies that just collect resumes for a specific jobs, just to stall you out and never contact you for a interview.
I applied to a state job, eventually got a interview and was told I'd have to wait 3 weeks for their decision. Three weeks!!#*****, it actually turned into a month and 2 weeks. I didn't get the job of course, but talk about a stall!
Many people say create a network, well thats pretty hard if you don't know anybody. Sites like LinkedIn seem like a complete waste also, very seldom are their actual jobs that are hiring on that site. It's also truly amazing what many of these throw away jobs are requiring for 10-17 dollars an hour. How are people taking care of themselves on that salary with a family. WOW!
