Dear Job Seekers

One word of advice: If you hear ANYTHING telling you that you should check out this job search engine called "Bojadeeni", DON'T do it! It's crap!
I had heard a rave review about this job search engine that would make things so much simpler by pulling job postings from various search sites, by searching the specific keywords you type in. Well...believe you me...I thought I'd check it out.
First, it's not user-friendly. If you have tons of time to figure it out, it can be done. Secondly, it DID pull many job postings, but I use this term lightly, because most of them were not related to my search at all. I look for bookkeeper, and I'd say 75% of the results are "online survey takers wanted".
And last, but certainly not least, because it's a doozy. I think the two that I actually checked out BOTH came back within 12 hours of each other as SCAMS.
So, if you're looking for unrelated jobs, or to be an innocent party in huge scams, definitely check out Bojadeeni. (Which is "I need a job" spelled backwards. The creator of this engine DOES need a job, in my opinion...maybe a nice telemarketer job? Can you tell I'm pms-y?) :)
But if you are looking legitimately for LEGAL jobs, go the old-school way, and go through all the various job sites like CareerBuilder.com and the like. It might be a pain, but it's better than the alternative.

  1. This posting was in no way meant to disrespect anyone. I was just INCREDIBLY disappointed in something that came so highly recommended, that I want to save everyone I can the amount of time that I wasted on this thing.
    So, to who designed this search engine, I'm sorry for the telemarketer comment. It was uncalled for. My extra two cents? Please take more time in perfecting this so-called search engine. It's a beautiful idea, but poor execution. The positive side to this whole thing is that I only did the free trial.
