I am also from the North and having trouble finding a job. I am in the legal field with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice. It's becoming extremely difficult to find a position with reasonable pay. I know I will have to take a pay cut but so far I am not getting any responses from employers. If someone could give me a little advice or guidance it would be greatly appreciated.

I have been in Charlotte for a few months from the northeast, and the advice is the same for this area, as anywhere. Its not what degree you have (for the most part), or how good your resume looks. Its WHO you know, not what. Not original advice, but even more true given the economic slowdown. Go out, meet people, and network. Its really helpful.

Hey there,

I live near the Raleigh/Durham area-
Can someone please call me about entering the logistics field?! Ideally, I'd like to be a freight broker. However, I have a BA in Human Resource Mgmt as well as Sales/Business Development experience (mainly in Construction and Entertainment/Music) and would be willing to accept another position in the industry.

Please contact me if anyone knows of opportunity such as the aforementioned.

Thanking you,

Shana

Join the club. I have also been trying to get a job in Gastonia and Charlotte. Have mailed cover letters and resume's, interviewed, and faxed. To no avail...nothing! At least these companies could let you know something, vie email or letter. What are they doing? Confused and frustrated!!!!!!

I have also found that most companies who don't hire directly through Monster and Careerbuilder do hire only through temp agencies. The agenices I've had the most success with for include Adecco.com, Sherpallc.com, ajilon.com, accountemps.com, remxfinancial.com, and randstad.com. Two other great agencies for specialties other than business include corestaff.com and thereservesnetwork.com. There are also great Employment Security Commission websites throughout that allow you to use the internet and fax machines there for free. They also have job postings but they are very slow about recommending you for them. My only other advice is to network, network, network. When you know someone on the inside it helps a LOT. Hang out downtown and get to know the people that work where you are trying to go so they can show you how to get there! Good luck!

Never work for Robert Half and try www.indeed.com for job postings.
