In this economy, use word of mouth. Email a job description to people you know and ask them if they know anyone who is looking for a job and would qualify, have them email you their resume. You will probably get the best qualifed people very quickly, especially if you include a salary range. I have been job hunting for months now and have registered on the 'big' sites, but mostly get jobs I am very remotely qualified for, 'work at home' or be a 1099 contractor type jobs. A good friend has sent me 2 great leads, I had 1 interview and am waiting to hear from them this week!

Hey Beth - I live in Fort Worth and know quite a few people who have been laid off. As you know, that has hit our area pretty hard. Do you want to email me a job description and I can send it to a few people I know? My dad also belongs to a professional networking group in Southlake and he said their attendance has gone from about 50 people to over 300 in the last 6 months. I can share the description with him, as well. Thanks, Kim dvdsnkm@yahoo.com

No offense, but I'd think twice about joining a company that was too cheap to pony up $25 to post a job opening that they needed to have filled ASAP.

Well, its not the company who wont pay, its me. I am sure the company would. I am hoping to find someone to replace my coworker who just gave her notice. We have found several people on craigs list, and I told my boss I could post it there. We seem to find someone quicker to replace someone via craigs list, than thru the company ways. I would pay the $25 myself, but when you post on Craigs list, you post one day, then 3 days later its way down on the list, and you dont get anyone to reply. You have to repost every couple days, and I wont pay $25 every couple days. I have posted on craigs list for job openings quite a few times for free, and now they charge you. So, its not the company. The opening is for a Pharmacy Technician paying $13.xx an hour to start.

Is there a local college to post at where they got their education? What about a window sign or trade journal or an online trade website? You need someone with a specialized education (right? at least an Associate?) - you have to look in the right places. Right now, so many are looking for a job I wouldn't think it would be long. Consider starting a resume file so you have applicants to call on next time. dl |
