[Thanks!] r/forhire got me hired!

After getting laid off in November I began my hunt for a new job. I tried the usual career sites with little sucess and a lot of annoying calls and emails from people who didn't read my resume. I then decided to try reddit.

Here is my original post: r/forhire post

The response I got was completely unexpected. I was contacted by some very nice companies, much better quality responses than any career site. One of those responses was from a recruiter, Adam Steinberg, with Jobspring Partners in New York. How did that work out for me? Well, I am typing this from a hotel in New York, 1300 miles from my home in Louisiana, looking for an apartment to rent before I start work here in 2 weeks!

Adam and Cole did a great job matching me with companies looking for my skills and working with me being halfway across the country. I ended up getting hired by the company at the top of my list.

Thanks to reddit, r/forhire, Adam, and Cole I am now pursuing a dream, moving to a new city, and getting ready to continue my career at a great company. If you are hesitant to post here, don't be. My wife thought it was funny when I told her I was using reddit to find a job but she isn't laughing now.
