Hallo all,
I have had no experience with those websites that you enter in your
resume and for a "nominal" fee they shuffle it off to a bazillion
recruiters. One of my friends is weeks from having to sell her car
because of steady unemployment (S-Corp owner, so no Unemployment for
her), she's a finance technical writer, and I'm wondering if those
websites are scams or.... do a decent job, or is it just easier to post
on monster and hope recruiters call you? She is networking, but it isn't
going as good as it could, we are in the Lutheran Police State after all.
Thanks!
Michele
