Craigslist is good, but there are quite a few low-balling companies that are looking for highly educated, highly skilled and highly experienced individuals for below average wages. The community at CL can certainly help out more. I know Craig used to be from the Detroit area, and on top of that I have also personally met Jim Buckmaster while he was in Ann Arbor not that long ago. Great guys, who are humble and making a difference on the web.

Monster is not too bad, but the excessive banner ads and Univ. of Phoenix pitch is becoming unbearable. HotJobs is full of useless job listings but at least they haven’t spammed via harvested email addresses on resumes. Dice is pretty secure, but it is quite limited to short-term contract positions. Even the state-sponsored MichWorks.org is weak on preventing bad postings. The majority of jobs on there are not legitimate positions paying good living wages that would sustain Michigan’s economy. So much for our tax dollars.

I’ve considered leaving myself.

Anyway… on with the search.

That’s one thing I like about Craigslist. I see spam, but often times if I check back in a day or so, it’s been marked as such by then.

Unfortunately, craigslist doesn’t seem to be as popular in the Detroit area as it is in say… California or something.

We need more people flagging the spammers, so our tools can pick that up. It’s working, needs to work better.

Thanks!
