Oh, and one other thing - some unsolicited advice: don’t be too picky. Any job is better than sitting at home on your arse. You’ll also find that it’s easier to “upgrade” to a better job when you’re currently employed than to try and get a good one when you’re unemployed - particularly if you have been unemployed for awhile.

“Any job is better than sitting at home on your arse.”

True. But one has to draw the line somewhere. A friend of mine actually turned down an offer with Planned Parenthood as a headhunter agency found his experience appealing. And they offered twice the money too. He politely declined and never mentioned “I don’t want your abortion-mill job” in his reply.

Thanks for the info- I admit, it hadn’t occurred to me to look for such a website.
I am employed now- in my twelfth year at the job, and in no danger of losing it. However, I’ve lost a lot of business (and commissions) through no fault of my own, and the company doesn’t seem concerned with building their business anymore. Because of all this, it’s gotten to the point that I just can’t meet my expenses at this job anymore, so I’m in the market for something else. I *am* being picky- I’ve already turned down a job that I probably would have loved, because it just didn’t pay enough.
