Climbto350 over Planejobs?

I'm curious as well...

Looks like planejobs is $59/yr and climbto350 is holding an Oct. only special of $49/yr., normal is $105/yr.

From what I've learned in the past, both sites recycle the same jobs. I looked through the list on climbto350.com and notice the "common" list of foreign jobs in the Middle East, etc. Seems like these jobs dominate those sites lately.

You're far better off saying no frequently, turning jobs down, than finding ourself out work and starting looking then. Be looking all the time. You never know when something better may come along.

Smart.

coming from a guy who used to do the hiring...i couldnt disagree more. once you interview, get the offer, and turn it down, whats giving you the idea it will be offered again? better to keep in contact with a few potential employers, and pull the trigger when the time comes, than to burn that opportunity just to "see if you could get the offer"

I think the important thing is to keep your options open. Get out there and interview...why not? If you get a better offer, go for it. If you don't...then you know you aren't missing anything.

Why limit yourself to where you're at?

options open...yes, youll get no argument from me there.

looking for something better...sure, why not?

...but "saying no frequently" isnt the same thing (in my twisted little mind)

If you're saying no to better offers, you're stupid...point blank.

...and by better offers I don't mean just better pay...there's the QOL issue too that you have to take into account.

But if you're saying no frequently because you aren't getting any better offers, what's wrong with that?

I have posted openings exclusively on www.climbto350.com, only to find planejobs and other sites pick them up a few days later.

Take that for what its worth.

alright...who on this side of Mars said anything about saying no to a better offer??? are you serious? and better QOL but equal pay could be considered a better offer? holy crap why didnt i think of that???

i agree with you on two of the three points, but you grab the ONE and go running over the hill...dragging your heavy opinions behind you.

*scratching head, trying to figure out what boat youre on*

ill say it again...im all for keeping options open, and looking for something better. but "saying no frequently" makes not a lick of sense.

i guess it all boils down to this...why in the hell would you interview for a job you dont want?

All you need to do is post a job somewhere and it will end up on all of these, sometime. Hey, I'm still getting notices for jobs that I recognize as being posted on some other site a long time back. They use it generate interest.

A couple years ago I had a friend post a job on her website, and low and behold, I got hundreds of unqualified applicants sending me resumes from every corner of the internet. I think that is why a lot of people are now stipulating in their ads that, if you don't meet the quals, don't send anything.

The best way to find the best jobs will always be, working hard at your present one, even if it sucks, and networking in the industry. If you hate your job, which is often the case, and complain too much about it and don't show any enthusiasm, just doing what it takes to "get by" it will be remembered by those who worked with you and those you worked for. The opposite is true, enthusiasm, even in a job that maybe you don't particularly care for, will be remembered and rewarded. Maybe not overnight, but in time, it will.

My .02 worth.

I know where Kingairyahoo is coming from. It's good to keep your awareness up, to know where potential jobs are going to be, but to keep turning jobs down - you're just going to burn your bridges. Then once the need finally arises, would these companies that you turned down still be so keen to hire you? I have my doubts.

Climbto350 is well worth the money. Every job I responded to I got a response.
