This is the first actual company i have interviewed with. Recruiters seem to be completly useless. I must have been submitted to 20 different companies by recruiters with no actual interviews. I applied to this one myself on craigslist.

Re: Finally got a job!

monster is useless, recruiters are getting increasingly useless unless a company has contracted that specific recruiter directly to do the recruiting.

Craigslist is the way to go, its more personal. That's how I got my last job.

Craigslist got me my job. Granted it's nothing special, but in a time where it's hard to find one, anything is better than nothing.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.
