TJobs update: staff e-mailed me a new password which does work. I have to confess I’m disappointed by the offerings, though. Using my newly-acquired password, I’m clicking all the intriguing-sounding job description headlines only to find that most link to external pages on employers’ pages that can be accessed by anyone (quite a few seem to be listings I’ve already posted in Inkygirl). I had hoped that most of these were listings placed by employers themselves, since I already know how to search the Web for writing jobs.
No dates are given by any of the links, which means there’s no indication on how recent any of the listings are unless the info is given on the employer’s Web site. I’ve already come across one defunct listing. The few employer-posted ads I did find were often lacking in essential information, such as pay rate specifics…I would have to apply the job first before I could find out more.
However, membership also enabled me to post a resume and short description of the kind of telecommuting jobs I’m hoping to find. In theory, potential employers will be able to find my info in the TJobs database and contact me. I’ll keep my fingers crossed and hope that my US$10 membership fee turns out to be worth it. More on my TJobs experience in a future posting.
