Subject: A full dance card for job interviews!

Written By: XenaKat13 on 03/24/03 at 03:03 p.m.

Some of you know that I was laid off from my job last July, and have been desparately seeking work since then.

I have had a difficult time even getting potential employers to even look at my resume, never mind getting an interview.

Then last week, I posted my resume on the MonsterBoard.

www.monster.com

My phone will not stop ringing, and I have not had a second to sit down and think.  I've been to two interviews already, I have two scheduled for tomorrow, and I'm playing "telephone tag" with two other placement agencies, and one actual employer.

I know all this doesn't guarantee I will be working soon, but the more interviews I manage to get....well, the law of averages should turn up in my favor at some point. I would suggest for anyone looking for work, this is a good place to get some kind of a response. (Psst...Chucky...this means you too!  :))

Good luck to you XenaKat!  I have friends that have had awesome luck with Monster.com.  Just make sure you weed through all the scams on there that say "Work at Home"....cuz they are just that...SCAMS!  :D

Way to go, Kat!  If you're anywhere near as impressive in real life as you are on this board, you'll be flooded with job offers after the interviews.   :D

Super-Cool XenaKat!  :D
I hire a lot of people and the best (and dissapointing) thing to impress a interviewer is to research the company befor you meet with them.  I've been amazed how many people coming to an interview for even the mid-management positions don't do their homework.
Be sure to practice up before interview time and always keep eye contact.
Good Luck! :)

  I dunno...Monster always seemed to feature more white collar and executive-type positions than I cared for (admittedly, I haven't browsed Monster in quite some time) and not the labor/manufacturing/distribution positions I was hunting for.  I've had great success with America's Job Bank.
