While it seems unfair to whine about a site which offers so much for free, I've found myself completely underwhelmed by the Career Builder web site.
Admittedly, both my wife and I were seeking rather specific jobs when we decided to input our criteria about one year ago. I was looking for jobs pertaining to the fitness or health food industry while she was seeking any opportunities in the travel field.
After we were through, we immediately began getting e-mails which contained a number of job openings. It wasn't long before we encountered two critical limitations of this job bank.
First, the majority of e-mails contained jobs that, in no way, matched our instructions. I'd get everything from tax consultant to taxidermist and a slew of other oddities in between. Plus, some e-mails would contain six or seven postings for the same exact job! It went from very frustrating to downright laughable after awhile.
Second, the geographic parameters were not specific enough for my needs and therefore, the vast majority of jobs were in NYC. Unfortunately, I have no desire to work in the Big Apple.
Recently, we finally decided to cancel this free service. While I'm sure others have found great jobs from Career Builder, my wife and I were very disappointed and considered it to be a waste of time.
