Many job hiring decisions, especially smaller firms, are still made by a local.
I would like to widen my spectrum, and I'm willing to make the drive. I'm used to commuting long distances, especially traveling 1.5 hours one way to college.
I feel that Raleigh and Durham area job market is very racist. There hire people who are idiots that barely have a high school diploma. I realized that the state jobs are a scamming people they only hire people who is have no integrity and hard work ethnic. I have been applying for jobs down here for 7 years and its getting to much. I think I have to move to better state because this North Carolina is making me more depressed.
The state government recently got everyone in their payroll a 10 percent increase in pay(December 2017) when these current employees don't have the right skills and work ethnic to deserve that kind of pay. I wish NC would hire people with great skills and better track records instead of no education people. I see all of UNQUALIFIED STATE EMPLOYEES WHO DON'T HAVE THE SKILLS TO THINGS JOBS THE JUST HAD LUCK ON THEIR SIDES AND DIDN'T DESERVE THESE JOBS. JUST SAYING.
I hate that these companies and staff agencies waste people time when giving assessments. Assessments is not and repeat is not a good tool to find worthy candidates. I miss the old days in early 1990s and before 2008 when it was way better to get a job just by simplying applying and getting 1 one interview only. And you eventually being hiring within a few days.
I was laid off a month ago. I knew it was coming a month ahead of time. So it took me about 2 months of constantly applying, doing phone interviews, and then real interviews, before I got my new job. I sent ~40 applications overall. Could've easily taken longer... as always, a lot of luck is involved.
The only site I used was Indeed.com this time, and it worked. Consistently got a phone interview each week from it. So, I'd recommend trying that one.
For comparison, it took me a year to find something the last time I was unemployed in 2010... worse economy, and I was fresh out of college. Ended up filling it up with volunteer work, before caving and getting a retail job unrelated to my major. None of the hundreds of applications I sent on careerbuilder or whatever.com ever mattered.
