Snag-a-Job will inundate your email box with 'updates' about new jobs. My particular search revolves around my zip code and jobs within a 20-mile radius. They also also go by the name of Jobs.com.
First of all, they flash ads such as the old 'Get a Grant fom the Government' scam. No bueno. Then, when you submit an application on Snag-a-Job, they ASK FOR YOUR AGE. Another no bueno... And illegal.
They say there are 1,647 jobs available in your zip code/job radius parameters. As you roll throught the job roster, however, you see the same jobs being repeated over and over on different pages. So in actuality, Snag-a-Job is INFLATING the number of jobs that are really available.
I followed up on a J.C. Penney store position at a mall nearby. I got the runaround. I asked them why they kept the ad going if in fact they are not really hiring. I was told they would hire seasonal helpers starting November 1. I had seen this J.C. Penney ad for at least two months in the Snag-a-Job updates. Notonc did the ad mention 'seasonal'or the fact that Penney's is not going to hire anyone for this position until November... Maybe.
I wasted time, energy and gas to investigate a non-existent job. The market is really bad ans outfits like Jobs.com and Snag-a-Job offer false hope.
I am certian if I follow up on anything else from them, I will have a nad experience.
