Anyone sign up for the free 1 month trial of jobslinger plus?????

Several folks have mentioned that they have. Don't hear any glowing enthusiasm and no comment on finding it worth the fees suggested.

Well a few are really liking it on the other forum....... I have yet to check it out but am curious based on the following comments so will prolly try out the trial myself.

Below are some comments from shoppers:

"It used to take me a over an hour to go thought all of my sassie job boards every couple of days. Now I can do it with one search. They also have this thing called the dinger that dings ehn you have shops in your area... How cool is that. I am doing way more shops now than I ever have.
Now that I have gotten used to this tool I will never go back. I am definitely going to keep using it."

"After using for a short time, I am totally convinced it will pay for itself. I have over 35 sassies and this makes it sooooo much easier to check them all."

"I have 55 sassie companies, and I got 3 jobs from it from companies I had never seen jobs for before. I like it. But, I will have to wait and see how I feel when my trial is up in late June. Then I will have enough experience to judge. I am not one to pay for what I can do myself, but, if it continues to turn up shops I have never seen and can get, like this week, the dinger will ding some cha-ching for them. Being able to check 55 companies 3 times a day is definitely a good thing."

"I currently am signed up with 30 Sassie companies, all of which can automatically be checked from Jobslinger Plus. Today I've applied for shops that will pay for the first few months of membership. I have my computer set to notify me every 15 minutes of shops in my area. This is helpful since shops are posted at all times of the day. If I only go through each Sassie company once a day, I'm bound to miss shops that are taken at various times of the day."

Since the SASSIE stuff posts to regular Jobslinger as soon as job posts hit websites of those companies willing to participate, and since regular Jobslinger also pulls in off of V's job board and the MSPA job board and merchandising, I see little advantage here. My most productive companies are not SASSIE and my best paying companies are not SASSIE.

I wrote that at the other forum. I really like it so far. REALLY.

I just signed up.........I had 44 Sassie sites that are connected now...
so will be interesting to see.........I did find 2 shops that I was not aware was up on the job board BECAUSE obviously I don't check all 44 sites often...
It may prove to be very useful......

So am I to understand you are keeping your computer on all the time to listen for a dinger for the shops??????

No..........I am not.........but I did set the email notification for every 4 hours....of course you can set it for every 15 minutes if you like...........

My desktop computer is always on. But I am not always on it or even home. My laptop is usually with me, since I teach using it frequently.

Question. I did sign up for jobslinger plus. Is it suppose to ding if I am not signed on to it? Or will it only ding when signed in. Also, I signed up for email notification. Will the notification be from jobslinger or directly from the company it found? Need clarification please.

Not hearing any dings or getting any emails that they say I am signed up on for jobslinger.

Anyone have troubles logging in. I received message picking wrong items. The squares and the triangles, they say are wrong.

Okay I finally got the ding and got the email. I guess I was too impatience. I see how it works now.

I signed up for it, but at least in my area, it just basically has the same exact postings on their job board as the regular jobslinger site has. I'm not noticing anything different, other than the colors and graphics. I also belong to several yahoo mystery shopping groups that send me information on shops throughout the country. I am mostly only intersted in movie theaters and other shops that I don't have to pay anything in order to get paid.

Did not know that yahoo had mystery shopping companies. Do I just go to yahoo and look for mystery shoppying????

No, Yahoo has Mystery shopping GROUPS in their yahoo GROUP section in which companies that we talk about on here post on, the way they do on jobslinger.

Yahoo has online newsgroups that you can join. (I co-moderate one on a topic totally unrelated to MS'ing.) Go to groups.yahoo.com. Search for a topic you are interested in. For some weird fluke in their system, sometimes groups do not "sit" in the area that seems logical; for example, the one I co-moderate is under "ceramics" but it has nothing to do with ceramics (and never has). This is because sometimes based on the topic there is no logical choice for where to situation your group you start up, and you just have to choose somewhere. I noticed some of the MS groups are like that, as well.

You can choose to read them only online, or to get them via individual or digest email (the latter is not a first choice when looking for work.) You have to sign up with Yahoo and the individual list to get on these lists. They mostly serve as mailing lists for schedulers, although on one particular one a small squabble will break out, especially when some dufus joins 'grouply' and invites a mailing list of 8000 strangers to join him/her. There is little conversation on these lists. If your experience is like mine, you will mainly see the same jobs you see elsewhere, though sometimes I see one of interest, usually I already knew of them. I am on about 8 of them; some have more traffic than others.

I am with one Yahoo group........restaurant barms and I get emails about restaurant shops.......they are posted by schedulers.

Has anyones free trial expired that decided not to continue with jobslinger plus????? If so why did you not continue?????

I think jobslinger plus is cute and I have discovered I do not get many shops from there in my area. So it is not worth it for me to continue after the trial period, but good luck to the rest of you.

So...you folks who did the trial. Did you start a pay subscription or not? Why or why not?

I did not continue, because it was not worth it. I did not get many shops from it. I am doing just as well without it. Plus saving that extra money that they charge for it.

I'm not going to continue. I get a lot of notifications but have not gotten a single one that has not already come to me in an e-mail from either the MSP or a scheduler.
