[QUOTE="klmno, post: 334765, member: 3699"] I haven't tried employment agencies- actually it never even occured to me. Would they have anything outside of my location? I'm sure my profession wouldn't use them. I have used the online sites you mentioned, along with a few others, to find openings and I've applied to those. This afternoon I have been using sites like that to try to figure out which location in my state might offer the most jobs I'd have half a chance of getting so I can take a day trip to that area and see if that helps. I just received an email to one of the other places I'd applied to. Their ad was exactly for experience in what I do and have done. They are in a neighboring state but that shouldn't have been a major factor- unless they got plenty of resumes from people closer to them. Anyway, she said I didn't match what they were looking for. WTH- it was a perfect match according top their ad. Anyway, I shot back a very nice email thanking her for considering it and asking if she had time, would she offer some constructive criticisam and let me know why that decision was made. My resume format has bee the same for about 12 years and it has always gotten me a pretty good response for interviews so I doubt that is it. Maybe it's being unemployed the past year, although the profession has plummeted so that shouldn't be that major. I'll take a job doing anything reasonable (I won't strip- but I wouldn't make any money if I did. LOL!). It doesn't have to be in my field. [/QUOTE]
