I have been using Indeed and it had found me a couple of jobs, but neither worked out. But it continues (eveh though I tried to mark it not to) shows me nothing but bullshit sales job, which half look like scams. And my local paper the Tulsa World is down rigjht scams. Craigslist used to be good for this, but longer. And doing a Google search for jobs is a crap shoot. I just want a place that can upload my resume and have a decent shot at getting a well paying job. Any ideas?

Best suggestion I can give is don't sleep on staffing agencies. I avoided them for years until I got desperate. I had several job options within a few days. The people I talked to seemed legit excited to talk to someone that wasn't looking for manual labor or factory jobs (and was capable of more).

Already reached out to them all. Used back in the day when I did warehouse and factory work. Now they just take your resume and you lucky to get an interview with any company. They used to send you to work, now they don't. Well at least for any kind of pay. Got fucking jobs offering 16 an hour and expect you to have a bachelor's degree. Like what the fuck. If I hadn't hurt my foot still be at the glass plant making 25 an hour.
