Value, Value, Value....

Value is probably one of the most important qualities in today's market place. When something seem to good to be true, it usually is. A high price tag does not mean better quality, it means a more impressive name on the label, or logo. Not to say that brand names are inferior, but with the economy in its current state, designer brands might not be the best purchase.
In the online job search world, there are a few BIG names that dominate the scene. These websites offer positions from minimum wage clerks, to secretaries, to landscapers, to nurses, to dentists. The opportunities are mind boggling. And the cost of these giants are in proportion. Single job postings cost several hundred dollars each, resume searches are an additional cost.
With job.travel, opportunities are in the travel and hospitality industry. And more importantly, the cost for a one year member is is $198. This entitles the company to unlimited job postings and resume searches. This is less than one posting on the big name job boards. With budgets being slashed to keep costs in line, doesn't it make sense to use job.travel?
Some people think that Craig's List is the way to go. In the past it was free to post in all categories. There has been a fee in San Francisco for posting a job for 10 years. And now, it has expanded to a $25 fee in the large markets. But at $25 a posting, the cost will quickly overtake the $198 from job.travel for a year. Plus the ability to search resumes is a great feature. So log onto job.travel and Post, Hire, and SAVE!!!
