Anyone sought employment the old fashioned way by looking in the classified ads of their local newspaper?

I didn't even know that that was still a thing. Are you sure that's still a thing? It's been years since I've even picked up a newspaper. I'll have to check it out though, because I will try pretty much anything right now.

No I’m not sure it’s a thing that’s why I asked.

Wow.. it has been a while since I tried that, but that's not a bad idea.. I will try it as well.

Sounds good. I will share my experience here for everyone to see. Which kind of
"fashioned loud newspaper" you mean?

I haven't, but that's only because I don't get the local paper. If I did, I would. It's not that much different than looking for work on Craigslist, which I'm already doing because I'm beyond desperate for work right now.

You can read the local newspapers at your local library for free. Though you'll want something on which to take notes, because they won't want you to cut them up or take them with you.

My local newspaper is barely hanging on and the classified section is a fraction of what it once would have been. I don't think there's any point to looking there, especially as local businesses all have their own websites.

Truthfully, I didn't even think about that. I didn't know that anyone even still posted in the paper. That is a really good idea though.
