JOB HUNTING MALAISE: CRAIGSLIST, I'M SO OVER YOU!!!!


It's true. My patience is wearing thin and I'm becoming super-p.o.'d! Craigslist you suck major cock dude! Today's economy sucks. I understand this fact. I also understand the fact that I made the decision to move to the CV where job opportunities are limited. (Sidenote: In fact, two weeks after I moved MSN published an article announcing the worst cities in these united of states to find a job. Guess what y'all? Modesto, Stockton, Merced, and Fresno all came up. WTF does this all mean? Well, those are all the biggest cities surrounding me in little ol' Patterson. I know. I'm fucked!) But would it kill all those job-helping resources to actually do their job and help me find a job. Srsly! I mean I have only been actively searching Craigslist for a job in this area for about a month but all I get are annoying email responses that want me to upload my resume through another site (then why send you the resume in the first place?) or ask me to go to a credit score website where I can then post my credit card info and my social security number (are you fucking kidding me?). Come on, folks! Is this really the best you can do? Are we really so afraid of communicating or believing future employees that we'd rather dupe them into getting scammed rather than taking their word and judging for ourselves (which is why they have those little things called interviews, remember those? or has that gone out of fashion in the hiring process as well?) It's all so frustrating and I blame you Craigslist, you sonovabitch, you! You helped me in the past, remember? My last place was because of you (even if it was a tiny shithole, it was my tiny shithole!) You also helped me find my last job in the yay area. (Awe! The sweet blood bank!) But I move over here and this is the best you can offer me? I'm severely disappointed. And don't get me started with the staffing agencies. You guys suck equal cock too!!! (I'm feeling better already!) What is a boy to do? Idk. Do you? Have any ideas? Anyone. Someone. Let me know. I WILL find a way to browse the internet and be paid for it at the same time. Trust!!!

love that picture

craigslist sucks ass for job hunting. I have yet to have a successful attempt. I hope you find a job soon. I just got one a couple of weeks ago cataloging books at my school's library and the money is helping my record collection blossom.

thanks hanan and jenny for the support! Much appreciated :) Idk, even though I'm still frustrated I still turn to Craigslist b/c my choices aren't very big. But kudos Hanan for getting your record collection bigger...something I need to be doing too!!
