The Big F asked:


I registered with hotjobs, just to cover all bases, even though hotjobs has got to be one of the worst jobhunting sites on the internet and the world knows it. I posted my resume, checked it twice, made it public, and in the three weeks that it’s been up, the stats on number of Employer Views is sitting at ZERO? Even the useless mortgage companies look at resumes to spam you. Spammers look at your rez and send you trash… and I’ve gotten a few emails, all useless, but THE COUNT STILL SAYS ZERO, and I can SEE that my rez is searchable. Please share your experiences with hotjobs, as I’m seriously job hunting in the NYC/Westchester County, NY area and this is a huge disappointment. I registered with monster, careerbuilder, hotjobs, craigslist and NYT, and haven’t used any of them in about 3 years. Monster turned to pure garbage and popup ads, hotjobs lived up to it’s rep as useless (only worse now), careerbuilder is going through a Beta phase, and I’m getting very frustrated!
THANKS, but I need to be clear on my long question. I AM REGISTERED EVERYWHERE, and having this ONE problem with Hotjobs ONLY. My rez is there, I can see it. It’s professionally done, and reworked to perfection before posting, and the hotjobs systen basically tells me that not ONE employer looked at my resume. It makes no sense, so what I’m really looking for are YOUR experiences, good or bad, with hotjobs, and maybe suggestions for other places besides those that I’ve listed. I’ve even been with recruiters, and 98% of THEM are what I call database builders, because they generally have no specific openings… NOW, but (they) MAY in the future…. I’m very patient, and understant how this all works. I LIVE on the web, I’m just shocked at hot convoluted jobsites have gotten in just a few short years!
