Best Job Board and Job Search Strategies

Field/position desired?

I would find some companies of interest and cold call trying to contact management/HR to discuss potential positions.

I know of a position in an underwriting department at an insurance company in baton rouge...if interested I can pass along your resume.

Will email you tomorrow.

Where are you trying to move to?

Believe it or not, I found my job on Craigslist of all places. Most stuff on there is garbage, but if you have all day to look it certainly can't hurt.

My advice: I applied to hundreds of jobs out of state when I was graduating and didn't have much luck doing the traditional route, outside of a few opportunities. If you know where you want to work, do whatever you can to find someone there that can pass your resume along. Send linkedin messages, email, call etc. The worst thing you can hear is "no".

ETA: I think you're better off tailoring your resume and really hustling for 10 specific jobs instead of mass applying to 50. Of course you never know, but use your time wisely.

Trying to get a job in a SE city.

Atlanta, Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando, Nashville would be most ideal.

I've also been applying heavy in Houston, Dallas, and Austin.

GF has 18 months left in Gainesville at law school, so getting closer to her would be nice, but not a necessity. She is willing to move, too

However, if I don't have something certain by March, she needs to decide where she is going to apply for the bar, so if I don't have something by then, my search will be relegated to one state. For that, it'll probably GA or TX, those are where the most job opportunities seem to be.

ETA: she can't bar in LA.

I don't really know anyone those cities though.

Plus if they wanted a quick interview in less than a week, that could prove to bite me in the arse. I guess I could probably use her address to at least put me somewhat closer.

I definitely dont really stand out, unfortunately. First couple of college were quite the dumpster fire. Leaving me with a GPA not impressive enough to list and no internships of merit. 2 huge killers. I do have some good campus leadership exp, but thats not much to make ip for the glaring flaws of the other two.

Out of curiosity, why can't she Bar in Louisiana?

It's certainly more work. I was just taken aback by "can't" instead of "won't"

Just wanted to make sure the lady hadn't pulled one over on you
