Technology is great. Let's never forget that. But it's flawed, and that's undeniable.
Not too long ago, I signed up with Monster.com, because, you know, I kind of want a job after I graduate. It's been a fairly reputable online company to find work. To be honest, I haven't put much stock into it. I don't really trust an online web site to dictate how I will be making a semi-decent income for the immediate future. And here is why:
According to Monster.com's Search Agent results based on Journalism/Writing background, I can have one of the following jobs:
US-NJ-Morristown Information Systems Consultant MetLife
Ok, semi-believable
US-NJ-Northern Central Director of Marketing - Specialty Global Northern Central NJ Biopharma MRINetwork
Umm, hmmm ... guys?
US-NJ-Central Mammalian Cell Line Development Scientist Hudson Scientific
What?! No, come on Monster, seriously, that's not what I want to do ...
US-NJ-Central Protein Manufacturing Scientist Opportunity with Quickly Growing Biopharmaceutical Hudson Scientific
Ok, I officially give up
The moral of the story: nothing substitutes hard work. Peruse the newspaper, call up companies of prospective employers, and get out there and be pro-active in your pursuit for employment. Monster.com and other online job sites (though convenient) just prove how lazy and needy we are; that even in trying to get work, we need someone, or something, to do it for us.
Unless, of course, Protein Manufacturers take in a big check. Then bring it on, Hudson Scientific!
