I've gotten several interviews after finding the jobs on indeed.com. I just had a second interview with one last week and should hear the final word this week

Thanks a million man.

I'm very socially awkward.

I'm also a big guy and come off as intimidating to people so they get shy around me.

I was just saying for me when I was unemployed I did not go to snag a job because it was a site for hourly employment and that wasn't going to take care of my bills

My last two jobs have been from local papers that I accessed online--most recently in 2008. I think Indeed is supposed to comb the web for those listings, right? At any rate, these jobs were only in the local paper and I didn't see them on Indeed or Careerbuilder.

Thanks

Well based on people's responses on the polls this is what they look like so far.

Indeed has 8 votes with 36.36%
Craigslist 7 votes 31.82%
Filling out the application directly on the employeer's website 3 votes 13.64%
Monsterjobs 2 votes 9.09%
Another internet search engine not listed in this poll 1 vote 4.55%
Careerbuilder.com 1 vote 4.55%
Snagajob 0 votes
And not using the internet at all 0 votes as well which I'm a little surprised.

Please more votes.
