| Printingman | Posted – 10/11/2007 9:35:49 AM | show profile | email poster I have gained several clients through MB job listings and as well as a consultant for a publishig company at one time, i have hired as well |
| missit | Posted – 10/12/2007 1:50:32 PM | show profile Yes, but confused I got my present job by responding to a listing from the MB site, but I didn't get the job because of anything MB did. An employer paid them to list the job opening. I saw it, sent my resume into the employer, interviewed and received an offer, which I accepted. The job was listed other places and if I didn't see it at Media Bistro I would have seen it somewhere else or been told about it as people knew I was looking. So, MB wasn't so active in me getting my job, so I'm a bit confused by the question. |

| mad fingers | Posted – 10/14/2007 11:25:50 AM | show profile No jobs, a few interviews And now that I'm not in the NY area, that isn't likely to change. journalismjobs.com has a lot more regional listings. |
| writesonwater | Posted – 10/15/2007 1:42:30 AM | show profile I've gotten several freelance gigs; I live in Dallas but freelance nationally like so many on here. I've had better results with cruising the job listings then I had with having my own MB Freelance Marketplace listing, but I may do it again and hone in. I think I was too broad the first time. |
| Notyet | Posted – 10/15/2007 9:01:59 PM | show profile | email poster Any help with freelancing I got one job through MB, it was in Baltimore and I lived outside of NYC. I'm interested in how many of you are getting freelance gigs. I'm trying so hard to work in freelance for something on the side but I haven't heard from anyone yet. |

| Marie | Posted – 10/16/2007 12:42:37 AM | show profile Yes, both staff and freelance positions. The ads are legit. And I've found MB a great source for staying employed, which is not always easy in this field. |

| dribbledrive1 | Posted – 10/16/2007 12:43:17 PM | show profile Well, you're right. It's just another job board, and the fact that a job is advertised on Mediabistro isn't any better or worse than any other board. --Yes, but confused I got my present job by responding to a listing from the MB site, but I didn't get the job because of anything MB did.

| choc_ap | Posted – 10/16/2007 2:13:37 PM | show profile | email poster Yes I got my current job through MB and so far it's the best company I've ever worked at (knock on wood). |
| junecleaver | Posted – 10/17/2007 9:17:31 AM | show profile I never have. A few years ago I applied for several. I ended up getting a job from the ed2010 board. And I got a few interviews from the journalismjobs board. But my feeling was there were so many others applying, and I suspected a computer was sorting the responses at the other end. |
| wwozniak7 | Posted – 10/29/2007 2:09:08 PM | show profile | email poster I have. I recently finished undergrad and got a really good first job post college from Mediabistro. I applied from a bunch of different websites and by the grace of God, this one came through. |
| tmee | Posted – 11/3/2007 10:19:53 PM | show profile No job, but plenty of interviews. Within and outside of NYC. Resumes are read, but I agree with a previous post that speed is the key. |
| spring2007 | Posted – 11/4/2007 12:12:34 PM | show profile I got a job I'm just figuring out now how to turn it down. |
| Missy 29 | Posted – 11/4/2007 10:47:00 PM | show profile yes I got a full-time position and lovin it! |
