I am sure they will take there time and get things right before adding on additional markets and I am sure they are smart enough to not treat all markets as if they were the same (PHOENIX). "Well, we do it that way in Phoenix so it should work that way in LA!!!" Really? Hey lets open an office in LA right on Wilshire Blvd.(one of the highest commercial & residential rental districts in Cali) and hire sale reps and start them at 24,600 a year. Wait - why do we seem to only be attracting tweakers, crackheads, and prostitutes from Inglewood? Oh I don't know maybe because anyone who can afford to live within 10 miles of the LA office and who can sell probably is laughing at 24,600 a year. MyJobWave maybe able to duplicate Jobings business model but they won't be able to replicate the pompous and arrogant ASS that runs it. Sounds a lot like Jobing for sure.

I just hope they prove to have a better people strategy than Jobing does. This model can work as long as your people who are making the dials are treated with respect like it used to be at Jobing. Also, I hope their expation strategy is a much more successful one if they choose to enter into different markets. Robert, very good point.

And wasn't Careerbuilder the product of newspapers banding together to take want ads online in response to pressure from Monster and Craigslist? It's tough to get excited about yet another 'job portal' with yet more claims like 'the best of more of the same'. Robert Sounds like the second coming of Jobing, really.

It’s tough to get excited about yet another ‘job portal’ with yet more claims like ‘the best of more of the same’.
