I actually have been looking for the last 4 years and no luck. I am hoping something soon turns up! Good luck to you as well! ;D

I eneded up calling my current company and leaving a voice mail on the presidents phone.  At the time they were not hiring, but was asked in for an informal interview.  I spent 1.5 hours talking to the manager and presipent of the company.  They told me that they didn't have any open positions, but would be in touch.  2 days later I received a call and they needed someone.  With the way the job market is I was greatful for this oppertunity.

I am a college student with no job.  My town is known for being a hard place to find work if you have no experience like me.  I still peruse through craigslist ads and my campus' directory though keeping my eye out.  FusionCash is my job!

This is my 4th year at my current job. I teach at a private school and I got hired b/c my kids were enrolled to start there when I went back to work full time (I had quit my previous job of 10 years to stay home with the kids a couple of years). I called the director to make sure they were still on the list but I hadn't found a job yet. That's when she told me that had a position open. I applied, interview and was hired very quickly.

Through the good old newspaper, which then connected me with Monster Jobs. Filled out the application. Actually did 3 of them that way at the same time. They all called me, I set up interviews all for the same day, drove down to PA with my resume and certifications, and picked the one that paid the most and had the best benefits. For my part time job I just walked in and asked if they were hiring. They said yes, I filled out the application while I was there. Got a call about 2wks later and was hired.
