I have been using Indeed and it had found me a couple of jobs, but neither worked out. But it continues (eveh though I tried to mark it not to) shows me nothing but bullshit sales job, which half look like scams. And my local paper the Tulsa World is down rigjht scams. Craigslist used to be good for this, but longer. And doing a Google search for jobs is a crap shoot. I just want a place that can upload my resume and have a decent shot at getting a well paying job. Any ideas?

I'd suggest finding specific companies you want to look for and looking directly on their website at openings. I fucking hate aggregator sites like Indeed. They're absolute fucking ass. Also avoid recruiters if you can. 99% of my interactions with recruiters have been deplorable and I find that profession to be an absolute joke.

Thanks I will try that. And I agree screw recruiters.

I think if you're really not finding anything and you just need a job, then recruiters can probably get you a job. But if you want an actual career job or you are trying to be more targeted in your approach (which may not be an option for everyone, I absolutely understand that) then going direct through companies can help

Also if you're newer in your career then maybe a recruiter can be helpful to get you in the door.

Essentially I really hate recruiters but I am also hesitant to tell people not to use them. I just hate them lol.
