So I just put my resume up again on Monster.com and a couple of other site and I have gotten 4 messages over the course of the day, all of them appear to be interested in my resume and looking to have me in for an interview.
A couple of them just ooze of shadyness but one of them seems like a legit offer, in fact I may call them back tomorrow and find out more about them. I even applied for a couple jobs only to get online responses of "This position is filled but because you are so fucking awesome I am going to let you have this job". Which of course ends up being some scam in which I receive money, simply take my cut and pass it on. Basically my question to other is, any ever tried these spontaneous offers? They all seem like bullshit sales offers and right now is not the time for me to run around Atlanta and go to gimick sales gigs but I don't know how much longer I can last. |

Never tried 'em. Only have gone to interviews for real businesses that I can walk into and know about

I have my resume up on Monster, Careerbuilder, Jobing, Dice, Hotjobs, Sologigs, Beyond, thingamajob, jobsniper, job.com, and a resume of sorts on linkedin. I might have even forgotten some. All I can say is, I've not gotten any response I'm intersted in from any of those.
I have sent out at least 150 resumes to postings I've found on the above and craigslist. I've had 2 calls for phone interviews, one which led to an in person interview about which I'm still waiting for the call for the 3rd interview. ![]() ![]() All I can say is I figure its the law of averages, especially in this economy. The more people who might maybe see your resume, the greater your odds of getting a job, is how I see it. The position I interviewed for in person had 300 resume responses though, so, employers have a lot of shit to sift through as well. All in all, searching for a new job is a total pain in the ass and I hate it. ![]() ![]() PS: I've been out of work for a month and a half. ONE interview. I'm over-qualified for a lot of what I'm applying for though, and I know it. ![]() |

I'm with 2up on this. Lots of spam and very few legitimate responses.

most of the responses I got were for direct sales or selling of some sort. But I have to apply for 3 jobs a week and it's a great way to do that - even if there are ZERO jobs in my area!
