you guys should print your resumes and walk into the places(if you can) and make a good impression and give them a copy of your resume.
put on a shirt and a tie and just walk into different institutions and ask if they are hiring.

Had an interview with Express Scripts today..........have a test scheduled for monday at 3pm for United Healthcare. ES is gonna call me on monday to let me know if i got the job or not and starts on the 20th. This is the 3rd time i took the test at UH, and ive only gotten one live interview so far.
The lady my mother knows said she was told i didnt sound excited about the job when i had my phone interview, which is bull %#+$ because if i sounded any more excited, i would have sounded phony.
but anyway........we`ll know on monday!!!!!!!!

Does anybody know the proper LinkedIn etiquette?
I ask because I'm tempted to just type in the company name of jobs I have applied to and find people that work in HR and ask them about their hiring process. I want to lead with:
"I recently applied to a position with your company but unfortunately I received notice that my qualifications did not align with the position needs. I am aware that other factors play a roll in the review of each candidate for positions. However, I am reaching out to you to see if you could share any insight with me about presenting myself as a more qualified applicant for your employer's needs in future openings."
Thoughts???
LinkedIn is like facebook for professionals...so this is like a dude trying to holla at a pretty chick he doesnt know on facebook

You talking about job fairs? I went to two of them that was hosted at my school. Didn't help me much. Mostly sales jobs offered. For the good companies, they had reps, but they didn't really help out much, just told me to go to their website and apply.

Nah this is a hiring event, you have to go there and fill out an application, maybe it's another name for a job fair.

any input on that linkedin question on page 27
About linkedin and receiving an answer back. Recently I've emailed this recruiter a few times through linkedin. No answer. My email was concise. Before I the job where I was at I emailed a HR/recruiter through my personal email a few times and got an answer back. I got her email off of linkedin. Try looking for their emails on linkedin and email through your personal email to the HR/recruiters personal or business email. Who knows if they even check linkedin like that, sort of like facebook.

Unless the employer (which is not HR/Recruiter), has posted an open position on LinkedIn.
Typically they don't read your messages and such.
As for etiquette, treat it like you would apply to any other job. Good luck, it's definitely rough out here.

Definitely do it Ace.
Any opportunity you have, I would try my best to make an impression and standout from the rest of the pack. Sometimes that is all it takes, especially in this kind of job market. Unfortunately, this strategy is best used for entry level or non career jobs where you know others probably aren't attempting to do the same thing. For advance careers and openings that require a considerable amount of experience, emailing the HR or recruiter may not be very helpful at all. But it still doesn't hurt to try. Goodluck!

do you pay for linked in? to send someone a message they ask for a paid membership and im not about to do it. all i use it for is to have something so people can search me professionally and so i can research companies.

How do you quit, though? You don't need money to survive?
