Personal commentary on my part; even though I got my first energy job from Monster.com back when it was first ramping up, I don't think that thing along with careerbuilder are much more than spam bait nowadays. I do my best to look for the actual company or recruiter's site if I see a posting on Monster; if they use it exclusively and I submit there then I inevitably get some stupid fake telecommuting job solicitations or Primerica type spam. Indeed and SimplyHired are similar except that SimplyHired is vastly inferior. SimplyHired, by some form or fashion, is very clearly post-dating old and often-times dead job listings. Always use indeed.com if you're choosing between the two.
You should be looking at the Merrill Lynch Financial Advisor program, or similar programs with other higher end brokerages. Cut rate guys like First Investors will charge you for your Series 7 & 63 training, and they're not screening for college grads.
I do agree, to a point. Indeed is much better than SimplyHired, but some have told me SimplyHired worked very well for them, particularly with the Search Agent feature. Monster and Career Builder? Yeah, there's a reason they are at the bottom of the list. You'd be amazed at how many people's job search strategy is: 1. Post resume to Monster. 2. Wait for the phone call or email message (that never comes) Truth be told, all of those can be effective tools, but they are just that...tools. Most of the people I've spoken with over the past 16 years used the good old fashioned networking strategy.
We use Indeed and SimplyHired almost exclusively. There's a third but I forget what its called. Monster is good as well, but it's just too expensive. Thier resume search is legit though.
LinkedIn is the best place to find jobs, period. If you don't have a fully updated LinkedIn page, you're job searching wrong. I get 10-15 inquiries a WEEK on LinkedIn, and I have it literally spelled out on my profile "I AM NOT SEEKING NEW OPPORTUNITIES AT THIS TIME!" I've gotten my past two jobs (over four years) after being contacted through LinkedIn, no searching even required. Also, LinkedIn has "groups," so look for Houston-area finance or business related groups and join them. Recruiters will post openings on those pages daily.
Just to through it out there. My friend works at Mister Car wash and the guys that sell the detail packages make about 60K to 65K a year or more. Not sure if you are willing to sell car washes but its a decent living till you find something better.
For anyone looking - My company is hiring (mostly technology), we pay extremely well. If you apply tell them Groux sent ya. http://jobs.jobvite.com/quantlab Add me on LinkedIn if you want to discuss further or forward me your resume.
We are hiring a B2B at Staples. If you hit your numbers you will make minimum 65k. Tough job, but looks good on a resume and opens doors for any recent graduates looking to go into sales.
Disregard the game room, as there are just two ping pong tables. Everything else is awesome though. We're moving offices soon to Greenway (6-12 months) I'm working to get an 84" and an Xbox One in there. I went to five Rocket's game this season (2 playoff games) on their dime though! We have two sets of season tickets. Section 116 about 15 rows back and Row D on the floor.
Catered lunches is legit. You just go ahead and let me know when they need a controller / cfo / cpa position. :grin:
