0 LIKES UnLike

I currently work in Houston for CBRE as an AA and I am working on moving to Boston, but even when I apply for an open position w/in the company it doesn't feel like the employer is taking my serious. Why? I am wanting to continue my higher education @ UMass, but would like to find work before I leave. I've been looking around for work, but I don't get any replies!! Agh! I am getting annoyed and IDK what else to do. Part of me just wants to pack my c**p and just drive out to Boston and hope something comes up, but its too big of a risk, aye? Does any one have any suggestions on how I can get work in Boston if I live in Texas? Is is hard to find work in Boston? What are the major carrer fields in Boston? Major employers? Where can I find job openings to apply directly w/ an employer not staffing agencies? Is it worth going through an agency?

Please help!

Thx

  1. I would def. take a look at the Boston section of Craigslist and keep applying! With the economy going down the toilet unemployment is high but you can still get a job if you realize it is a numbers game. The more you apply for the better your odds are. Don't loose faith and keep applying.

  2. Did you try monster.com? Many staffing companies will love to find you a job (b/c they get nice fees from employers). Just post your resume there, it's free and you will see how many responds you will get. Some spam too, so be careful. Good luck!

    Also.. bostonworks.com

  3. it's tough, but keep trying something will come along

  4. I am sure that something will come up. If you talk directly with the employers and tell them your situation, and have an interview over the phone, that may help.

    I tried a placement agency, www.psgstaffing.com. They were able to help place me in a company after I had no luck with applying directly to companies. hope that helps....
