Worst summer of my life, Part 1 -- Job search.

[a_gs]

Months ago I have posted that I went to San Francisco, taken some photos and didn't post anything until now. I guess, it was a bad idea to stop writing, however every time I thought, I have something to write, I discovered that I can't do it without sounding ridiculously whiny and hopeless. So my Internet-visible writing was mostly limited to Linux

Why am I so surprised when something normal happens?

Because it does not happen very often at all. (G)

Glad to hear things are going better for you in Silly Valley. I know firsthand how much it sucks to be hopelessly underemployed.

See, what's interesting about this is that when I've looked for jobs as well, recruiters have NEVER worked. Ever. I've basically given them my resumes, and asked them to send me stuff that I can moonlight on. (insert dead silence here where appropriate.)

So, when I look for jobs, I don't use Monster, I don't use Dice, or anything else like that. I look on Craigslist. I have found my past 3 jobs on Craigslist. I will continue to use Craigslist until that site is either dead or gets bought out and requires some stupid registration process.

I attribute my successful line of previous work to Craigslist. Therefore, I will continue to use it until something better (?) comes along.

I share your pain and frustration, Alex. It's good to have work. ^_^;
