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.
I have been most successful through referrals and in-person connections vs online. Online gave me a lot of empty responses in job apps filled out, and seems like the biggest time waster.
Indeed seems better fit for SMBs.
LinkedIn is cutthroat corporate jobs and ass-hat humble bragging dipshits. If anything, LinkedIn allowed me to reach out to people I knew or know and still talk to, ask about how they like their jobs and company, and ask for a referral. That’s the best route. Doesn’t catch them off guard, and tells you if they like you enough to stick their neck out for you.
Yeah, every “real” job I’ve had was due to contacts I made while freelancing or working other jobs. The sad reality is that it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Most of the people in my industry who struggle to find (and keep) work are because they have a bad reputation, or they’re an asshole and nobody wants to work with them. Being kind and personable (and showing up sober in an industry where that isn’t taken for granted) will do a lot more for your career than any job site will.
