Using internet job boards what keywords should I use to find a third shift (overnight) position?
Asked by
I am currently looking to change jobs so I can take classes during the day and that is going to require me to get a night time job. So far I have been looking in the newspapers and also using monster.com and hotjobs.com to find an overnight job that would mesh with my schedule but so far I have had little success. I was wondering if anyone out there might know of what keywords I should be using to search for jobs online or maybe what jobs should I investigate that might be overnight. Even though I am a college graduate and do have work experience I am thinking I probably won't be able to find a job in my field (education) so my best bet is to get an entry level position. So any ideas on keywords?

Best Answer:
When I was job hunting I found monster to be useless because the 1st 5 pages of jobs were always work-at home pyramid schemes! I use careerbuilder.com. You can post your resume at no charge as well as actively search for jobs. Resumes are only kept on Careerbuilder for 1 year (unless you renew it) - unlike monster, where the resume I posted 10 years ago is still there! Try keywords like THIRD, SHIFT, NIGHT, EVENING. Or try what you are looking for: WAREHOUSE, DATA ENTRY, etc. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in, but most major newspapers also have job boards. Lastly, if there is a bank or whatever that you know has a 3rd shift working, go directly to their website and look for postings there. When my husband was looking for work, he actually got a job working security at the juvenile detention center on 3rd shift - so check out your state, county, and local government sites too. Good luck!
