Ditto.
Both my FTE appointments are the result of a friend saying "hey, gimme your resume!" -

OptionsSteveLord Member Posts: 1,717I went to the website of my current employer and other potential ones at the time. I had no less than a dozen at any given week. I found more relevant jobs that way. I feel these top job sites have a habit of encouraging the modern job seeker (in any field) to just sit around and wait for employers to come to them. I am extremely skeptical of people who have been "looking for jobs" for the last X amount of months/years and have not found one.WGU B.S.IT - 9/1/2015 >>> ???

Options-hype Member Posts: 165I think it's maybe because indeed doesn't charge the employers as much to place an ad than the other websites. I had a feeling it would win.WGU BS IT:Network Administration

OptionsTheCudder Member Posts: 147 ■■■□□□□□□□My current job I got through Indeed. The previous 2 were Monster & Career builder --- two sites I don't really bother with anymore, they're just a mailing list for fake & temp contract jobs its seems now.B.S.

Optionsbud08 Member Posts: 58 ■■□□□□□□□□I used Craigslist to find jobs but then applied directly to company's site to avoid recruiters.
Indeed had been my go-to. It provided a lot of phone interviews but my above method got my foot in the door. -
OptionsOG Maverick Member Posts: 24 ■□□□□□□□□□I just signed up for Dice and went through applying to places last night. I'm hoping it works out, but luckily I'm in a position where I don't need to find something fast. Here's to hoping Dice comes through!

Optionsprtech Member Posts: 163Posted my resume at Indeed and a staffing agency contacted me the same day. When I browse for jobs, I use Indeed and Craigslist.If at first you do succeed, try something harder.
