Those are probably the top job searching sites I check every day. Craigslist is a horrible place to look for work
|
I've used those sites and most of what I get is sales. I'm rubbish at serious sales jobs. And I'm still getting people from Aflac trying to contact me despite repeatedly saying no.
And I don't actually apply through craigslist but I find places that are looking to hire someone and go to their website to contact them directly.

Hm, not really. It's usually an automated e-mail telling me that they think I would fit the position they are looking for and that they hold "career opportunity meetings" such and such days...

@ Dae- What kind of work are you looking for? I know you can filter out sales jobs.

xuvrette: Some places will waste lots of time interviewing people.
Poet: Marketing assistant or even just a simple administration assistant position. But it's hard when everyone wants experience.
It's getting to the point of "Screw this, I'm going to Disney." xD

I guess. I mean, I'm still incredibly not decisive about what I want to do for the rest of my life... Which makes everything complicated, naturally. And my indecisiveness is just incredibly frustrating for me. Right now, I'd take anything full time that would get me benefits. -sigh-

Well given what you do I would suspect you are a sort of "secretary" type employee. Should probably focus on similar job types until you can work towards a different job type.
I know vaguely I fall into the Engineer category.

Well for example I'm a Drafting Engineer, also known as a CAD engineer. In this field there are about 100 branches of even that, from piping to basic parts, to specific types of components like aerospace and cars and such.

That's part of why I'm considering my masters. There are just so many things you can do but without more refinement, it's hard to really know what I want specifically. Lots of places don't want someone with just a business degree with a concentration in marketing unless they are a small business.
I kind of wish I had gone somewhere with a hospitality degree.
