As I sit here hating my job and posting on Traineo, I was wondering what methods that everyone finds best when it comes to job searching. Do you mostly use monster.com, careerbuilder.com, applying directly through corporate websites, job fairs, etc...
It is time for my second job out of college. I have been here 2 years and have done my time, lol.

I'm a plant enthusiast dedicated to eating whole, fresh foods. As for exercise, I regularly participate in: swimming, water aerobics, yoga, the elliptical machine, the stair stepper, running, and weight training. I try to switch up my routine a lot so that I don't get bored. My biggest obstacle to weight loss is eating when I'm lonely or sad, but I've started keeping a list on my fridge of other things I can do to occupy my time. So far it's really been helping!
Aside from health and fitness, I was married in December 2007 and am enjoying being married and decorating our apartment. I am currently finishing my last semester as an undergraduate, and hope to begin an English MA program Fall 2009. I love reading, quilting, cooking, hiking, swimming, decorating, gardening, and striving to protect the environment. I'm also really pleased that Barack Obama is going to be our next president.
Let me know if you need a motivator! Good luck in your health and fitness efforts!

that's funny that you mention that, because I have been sitting at work all day today trying to figure out how to find a different job. I looked at monster.com, but surprisingly craigslist.com sometimes has jobs listed.
I'm mostly looking for a new job because right now we're spending over 400 dollars per month on gas for a 1hour each way commute. It's not worth it.
If you find any other leads for jobs, let me know!

I have been applying to mad jobs on craigslist. Nothing is coming of it though. I am starting to think I suck, lol. I have my bachelor's degree in marketing, two solid years in a corporate marketing department and I have no luck finding anything. Maybe it is just tough to get a job right now.

I am 34 years old, married and a father of a 2.5 year old. They are the motivators for me to reach my goal. I started the new journey on 8/21/06 @307 lbs and as of June '08, I have lost around 108 lbs. I have been able to keep 100 lb weight loss since Sept. '07. What keeps me on track is the Traineo community, vision of a healthy and fit future and the mini-goals below.
*GOAL 1 = 244 lbs, Date = 2/15/07
Date Met = 2/7/07
*GOAL 2 = 229 lbs, Date = 3/22/07
Date Met = 3/30/07
________________________
*GOAL 3 = 199 lbs, Date = 6/30/08
Date Met = 6/5/08
*GOAL 4 = 185 lbs, Date = 09/30/08
Date Met = TBD
(185 is my "ultimate" goal. Then build muscle.)
Hobbies/Interests: Baseball, White Sox, bowling, WII, Xbox 360, PSP, XM, Opie and Anthony radio show, Ron and Fez radio show, variety of music, working out, running.
Personal Records:
5K - 26:18 (4/14/08-8:29/mile pace)
10K- 54:56-9/16/07-(8:43/mile pace)
10 Mile Run - CXLD due to injury
Marathon - 10/12/08
Advice:
- Set a Deadline: "A goal is a dream with a deadline - Napolean Hill."
- Set Mini Goals - They help you accomplish small milestones on your way to the "ultimate" goal.
- Track your progress.
- Plan everything out. Daily workout routines, meals, etc.
- Be patient. Your goals will eventually be met, if you work hard.

Craigslist for me. I found my fitness center part-time job there and I love it.
However, I am at a point in my life, where I want to find a full-time job I love doing. I am tired of working for "big corporations".

Not much to say, I like playing video games and watching/playing sports. I work as a web developer for a small company.
I think when I get into shape I want to become a volunteer firefighter.
Goal: Lose 35lbs before Cardio King

I keep tossing around the idea of freelancing my web development skills.

Keeping in touch and networking via LinkedIn. A personal recommendation from an insider can rocket you to the top of that resume pile.

They say the best way to get a job is to know somebody. But I've also gotten jobs through career fairs and randomly looking places up in the phone book. Haha!

Have you tried searching USAJobs?
It's a listing of U.S. federal job opportunities. Lot's of open enrollment positions.
