If people are hunting for a job there’s 9 million sites out there to help them do it. I’d ask that they get dumped too, regardless of the poster’s intentions or affiliations.
Your intentions are good, B4Ranch. Of that I have no doubt myself. Just try to avoid even the appearance of posting spam links for profit. That’s what the problem was, rightly or wrongly.
I’ve seen posters put web addresses in their taglines before. Something along the lines of “Looking for work? See my profile.”
I have a link to stuff I’m selling on mine.
It’s Jim’s site and he has a rule about solicitation. Just post the sites without the $99 resume link and you should be fine. If anyone wants help, suggestions or links, FReepmail me.
FWIW — one suggestion you offered has resulted in a nibble. Considering the time of year, that’s encouraging, so thanks.
If you are looking for a job use Indeed.com as the vertical jobs search engine. (no I do not have a vested interest in Indeed,com). The site is where I refer candidates to look to see if the work they are looking for is indeed (pun intended) in their location. Basically the website scrapes jobs off all websites (Monster, Careerbuilder....corporate websites) and puts them all in one spot. You can even set up email alerts so that when jobs post that meet your skill set, Indeed emails you and lets you know. Best site for this type of search. Use the advanced search feature. Search off keywords and leave the location field blank. Take special note of the locations listed in the far left column. This shows you where the work is! So you can go where the work in your skill set is being done rather than hoping that something in your specialty opens in your area.

Mods, please do not put them back up.
Oh just freakin peachy. Like I didn’t need all the help I could get. Things have changed between my hiring at a great job 15 years ago and and downsizing this year.
Thanks for your efforts, B4. Greatly appreciated by someone who despises this fad of shotgunning personal info over the dadgun internet to only God knows where just to apply for a job.
I hope you have a blessed Christmas, FRiend.
I’d have to say that, despite my fondness for fellow Freepers, this is a site for political, religious, economic and philosophic discussions. There are plenty of avenues on the Internet for job-seeking. We probably don’t need to clog up FR with want-ads.
““Resumes - Jobs Guaranteed Only $99-If you’re not HIRED, we’ll refund your money AND pay you $50!””
Beware of scams.
Thanks for putting up the job threads.
I WAS looking and went to many of those sites.
I accepted a job on Friday and start in January!
Anyway, did I tell you I got a job? Woohoo!
Thanks again.
