I'm in the middle of a looking for a job right now, and seeing as how I'm probably not the only person here doing so(or who have done so recently), I thought it might be a nice idea to open a thread to talk about our experiences of doing it, and maybe even exchange tips or how we go about doing it.
Myself I've only started a week back (mostly delayed out of procrastination
). And I decided to not be choosy and basically apply for anything I had the minimum requirements for, I used jobs.ie (an irish website), and basically set up a feed with for a wide variety of stuff, only excluding things like "medical" etc.
Anyway I've just been through a week where I got called for 6 (!) interviews. Now this might sound great, but alas the only people that called me were involved in "direct selling". Initially I was open to the idea (how bad could it be?), but after thinking about it I've come to the conclusion that it may not quite be right for me....
Anyway, you guys have any interesting job search experiences?
