What makes you think that corporations (notorious bottom-liners) are going to drop millions on a useless service. I would think that they use Careerbuilder because they get a lot of candidates. Now, here's a dirty little four-letter word: Math. 100 people apply for a job, 1 person gets it. 99 people saying Careerbuilder doesn't work, 1 person saying that it does. It's funny that when Careerbuilder does exactly what it is supposed to, the overridding impression is that it doesn't do what it's supposed to. They you said they don't track how many people get a job through them. How would they know? They just post the jobs. The classified ads in the newspaper doens't track their numbers, but you don't bash them for it. I know that you want to walk up to a window and say "One job please" but unless you live in a magical cloud city, you're going to have to stand out from the competition like everyone else. (oh, and that "Upgrade" that you can put on your resume goes for as low as $20, not the $100 you quoted).Anonnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13820880911391204207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13703322.post-73402189040629567772007-09-14T17:15:00.000-04:002007-09-14T17:15:00.000-04:00Beleive what you will about careerbuilder but it i...Beleive what you will about careerbuilder but it is a private company, so there are no stockholders to speak to.

They have access to all kinds of info on thousands of people seeking jobs. In my case, I was bombarded with phone calls from foreign employment agencies, who insisted that I send my S.S.number, bank account info, and so on. Then, I would be ELIGIBLE for all the "great" positions they had access to. I had to delete my resume and start again. This time I'm not posting any phone numbers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
