I am sick and tired of Indeed. It nothing but sales jobs and it ignores your filters. Monster full of scams or just links to other job searching sites that want you to create an account on their platform. Last ziprecuriter is also full of spam and garbage.
Working from home a year now and tired of the bullshit. Now not getting paid because computer stop working and having to wait for a replacement. On top of always working with no back to back days off.
Anyone know best place to apply? Tried locally but nothing but low pay retail and fast food jobs in the area. I have insurance license and still willing to work remotely.
Hiring.cafe
The website aggregates the jobs from the direct websites of companies and I don’t believe allows posting so there are a ton less “fake” listings. Just found my latest job last week on there and cannot recommend it enough.
Not sure the ethics of the methods of the aggregation but it certainly was a fresh air especially since you do not need an account.
Had hire cafe but most jobs are not local. But will try again.
You can refine the search to show only jobs within a specific city. Good luck!
LinkedIn can be annoying but can give you a vague sense of what to search for.
Then once you have specific terms just throw stuff at search engines and apply directly to career pages/employer sites instead of through a job aggregator.
It’s not foolproof but that’s how I found my current job.
There’s no best site, depending on your work the market has just been completely broken at this point. If in the US, the jobs numbers are being manipulated and things are in a historically bad position. We’re so much worse off than is being discussed .
One of the key factors in the acceleration toward the Holocaust was extremely high unemployment and groups that felt desperate and/or had nothing left to lose. Take away hope from all, promise one group that the only thing stopping them from succeeding at that point is the “other” group.
It’s a dark answer, but we are living in dark fucking times and it’s true.
Most people my age (40s) in the trades are looking fruitlessly for good helpers. Easy $30-40/hr after a couple years if you can read a measuring tape, show up sober & on time and stay off your phone.
Unfortunately I unable to do physical labor jobs due to health issues in my past.
I will say there is often admin and planning and phone/computer based work in the trades as well, and a lot of disorganized and stressed out guys who diy all that on the fly that need help with it even if they don’t know it. Might be a niche.
That’s fair. My body is in pretty good shape but I’m tired all the time and experiencing more and more issues because of the work. It’s definitely not easy.
Working with recruiters seems to be the best way to find new positions right now
I agree, all my real success has been with technical recruiters.
Temp to perm positions where the head hunter takes a fee until you are either hired on or move to another contract
In my experience, almost every job I’ve ever had was earned through making connections to people. I went to an event, introduced myself to people that looked interesting, and either asked for a job or was randomly offered one. I’ve also secured a couple jobs the old fashioned way applying with a resume or responding to Craigslist posts but all the jobs I really enjoyed came from talking to people IRL at events.
Depends where you live honestly, but I had luck with jooble although you’ll have to go on the recruiting agency site.
Job markets absolute shit right now.
Linkedin’s good for recruiters, and networking with previous employees/stalking what companies they ended up at. I never had luck applying to jobs through linkedin though.
Hiring.cafe’s good for finding hidden stuff.
Glassdoor for researching whether or not a company’s any good…they are getting worse over time though, fully expecting some kind of paid version to come out down the road.
Indeed, you already covered, but there were a handful of listings that turned into interviews for me. Ziprecruiter, never used cause it posted repeats usually.
If there’s a specific line of work you do, try to find social media on it. Some communities will have job boards on them.
Outside of that, just need good luck and patience 🙏
