Thursdays in Unemployment Land

Well, folks, Thursdays are a lot like Fridays here at the Unemployment Dude Ranch.

Yes, there are a few new listings on Dice and CareerBuilders and I found several gigs in the Job Search Universe (highly recommended- it aggregates job postings from other sites and let's you slice and dice any way you want to see them.

Those of us who have used Dice.com for more than twenty minutes realizes all the jobs listed seem to magically renew themselves making 'View By Date' pretty much useless. Job Search Universe tracks all the Dice openings you're looking for and tells you how long it's been on Dice. Some of them have been up there for months.

If you're in a tabbed browser- the Job Search Universe seems to be the way to go. I go there right after I check the LinkedIn ( aggregation provided by SimplyHired) and Craig's List (yeah, but I found two cool jobs there- One at Pathfinder Associates and the other here in Naperville that was put on hold because of the economy.

Once that's done the only phone calls I get are from bill collectors and family. I'm thinking HR and Hiring Managers don't do anything except on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Methinks recruiters are pretty much 24/7 and take classes so you can't talk to them over the phone.
