3/21 Will someone recommend a good place to post my resume? For instance,
what do people here think of <DEAD>Monster.com...techies.com<DEAD>? Thanks.
\_ if you dont mind working as a contractor use dice or monster, if you
want to deal directly with companies, look in craigslist or
\_ Don't post it publically if you're not ready to burn bridges.
go to various websites and follow their 'jobs' links.
if you do web based development, post your login.
\_ another question: how do you prevent your current employer from
seeing your resume on these sites?
\_ Don't post it publically if you're not ready to burn
bridges.
[your manager could be browsing from AOL]
\_ could also be positive -- chance for a raise,
more responsibility and others.
\_ No. You should go and ask for that stuff.
Good managers know that they won't keep an
employee long term who is unhappy no matter
how much money they toss around, especially
if you're all set to leave without even
telling them there was a problem.
\_ Yeah, that pretty much matches my
experience also. By the time it gets to
the point where the employee is sending
out resumes, monsy won't do much besides
delay the inevitable.
\_ http://dice.com. My mom and my best friend both found new jobs
in 2-3 weeks after posting on dice.
\_ 2-3 weeks? What's wrong with them? Try 2-3 hours.
\_ Are you retarded or something? Haven't you noticed that
there's a sort of theme as far as posting followups to
the motd goes? Moron.
\_ No. I haven't. What theme?
\_ Both wanted a decent long term place to work, not
just the latest startup craze. Besides neither was
looking for straight coding. My mom took over as eng.
lead/architect and my best friend took over as a
director. These jobs are a little harder to find.
\_ Ok... 2-3 days.
\_ That's what it took to get the interviews
and offers lined up. They switched employers
2-3 weeks (including 2wk notice) after posting
on dice.
\_ hotjobs generated LOTSA calls and email for me.. they have an
employer-block feature but I don't know how well it works -shac
\_ Dice is best for contracts, hands down. Their ability to search
by phone area code is way useful too. I often am not interested in
Bay Area as a whole, say want to exclude South Bay. -muchandr
\_ whomever you use make sure you don't put down a phone number
unless ou really enjoy getting woekn up by someone far too cheerful
who is trying to convince ou that babysitting databases is the
most exciting career move out there.
\_ "CLICK!" Last message on my machine was some chick saying that
she's from Blah Inc (which I never heard of) and random chick #2
gave her my resume and said I should be offered this great job
opportunity, etc, etc, etc. I love my answering machine. |
