What is doostang

Will keep posted if I hear any responses. I basically demanded to be removed from their database. I also emailed Wired editors urging them to write about Doostang. Liz, thank you for this blog post, and providing a forum to capture complaints. Nothing from either of them, btw. You go!! Feel free to email me lizsun2 gmail. Sad really. Thanks so much for this!

Thanks for saving me the time and trouble!!! If you do not quality, then most of the job postings probably are not for you anyways. You know, like Facebook did back in the day? It seems that now they are trying to charge job seekers to view some listings. Reprehensible douchebaggery. No one else does it. Liz, let me first say that obviously that was a fake email address. Why would I want to display my real contact information to some strangers over the internet?

No sense of humor? Your last comment surprises me… but perhaps it goes to show why you may not be a candidate for the most selective jobs. Top candidates will proactively seek out the top jobs and will maximize their chances by going through multiple channels. The reasons being: 1. You could have been some average accountant there? Everyone has a Masters degree these days.

Where did you obtain it and what field is it in? I agree this may backlash on them but ultimately, it is a business looking to generate profits. Good jobs are tough to come under current economic stress, so why not charge a premium? This is capitalism. Mike: Just go back to your cubicle at Douchestang. FAIL, I sez, what a bunch of cockroaches. Mike, interesting that my name dropping rubbed you the wrong way — maybe you can understand that when you name drop it can rub people the wrong way too.

And you did not answer my question: would it not make sense for D to simply indicate which credentials are required to join? And I have another question for your — how does it feel to see your fellow human beings in such a negative light?

Every word you wrote here is steeped with an ill-disguised attempt of putting your audience down. In my experience, only those who are extremely insecure in their abilities do that.

I am with Mike on this one. In this economy. Which department are you in? This post resulted from bad customer service and misuse of my network.

Guess what, lots of folks on LinkedIn are from the big three too. And from many other excellent schools and companies. Natalie K: Please ask your boss at Douchestang to stop ordering you to post here. GS recruits on campus for its analyst and associate classes, and like most other banks, uses headhunters for lateral hires. Since they have fired several thousand people over the last few months, I find it hard to believe that you would be a lateral hire.

Please read up on how this whole recruiting thing works before spreading lies on the 1 Google result for doostang. Top school networking website, what BS. People from top schools network through their own alumni associations, which have their own sites. And how useful top schools are is debatable.

Harvard grad here! Do yourself a favor and ignore the site. I am at one of their targeted schools and would like to remark that this business deserves to fail. Got an invite from an acquaintance, and found your very helpful post, which told me all I needed to know! I just deleted my account. Then I googled doostang to see what others thought and found this thread. I had never heard of doostang. So…I googled. Your Blog came up second.

Not a good sign. I am going to delete the invitation without accepting. Thanks for saving me the hassle. To make matters worst, every single job on their website is now premium.

So you cannot browse any jobs without first upgrading out membership which means shelling out 40 bucks per month. It really is a trap and sucks big time!!!! My school Wharton just followed a lot of the top bschools to PAY to bring Doostang to all of its students. I had heard of it but did not know much about the service so I Googled it and saw this blog. I did not want to sign-up at first but I my roommate made me and I am glad I did.

Take my word, I go to a top MBA program and went to Harvard for college and the jobs on Doostang are far superior in both quality and volume to either school.

Doostang is great IF you are in their target market. If you are an elite graduate, do not get left behind. Thanks for the discussion here.. I just got an invite from an unknown person with an email id noreply doostang. Linkedin , xing , etc are good enough! Its been down for 30 mins already — what a bummer!

Eric— you are simply a spammer from Douche-stang like many others on this board trying to make it sound like is worth something. You make it sound like recruiters are too stupid to post for free on the career sites of the individual schools, and would gladly go with Douche-stang. Obviously, no educational benefits have accrued to you. Believe the administration at The University of Pennsylvania! Are you tech support in Mumbai?? Have you ever written anything coherent in your lifetime?

If Douche-stang was really worth anything, why is Wharton getting it for free? If it is so great, why are you linking to a press release from Douche-stang and not from Wharton? It sounds like doo-stang has already stung! My utmost regards to all the sting victims. That was some mighty fine smelling horseshit. Next time, try not to make it so obvious that you work for doostang. Thats funny, like everyone on this blog the same thing happened to me with this website. However when my email log in stopped working I never bothered to send emails regarding the issue, I just figured it was a problem with the website.

After it happening for soooo long I forgot about it intil 2 days ago I recieved an email from Doostang and thought how weird of them to contact me now after 6 months of no log ins from me. Well to make a long story short, they must be getting desperate cause I have not tried to log in for over 6 months now. From the sounds of everyones story this is no surprise to me, you all sound like smart people with the ability to excel in your careers and it is their loss. Thanks for the blog, it is people like you that help others….

The links he listed are broken. Doostang is a joke! Now they are just trying to be another Ladders. Watch while they crash and burn! At the end, claiming that you have all these elite people getting jobs at elite companies just to get 2nd and 3rd tier people excited enough to shell out money is bogus. It will eventually collapse. Having 2 or 3 people from great schools getting a job in investment banking or whatever does not make the site some elite conduit into the A list.

Gee, I want to be an elite little Monster. Liz, Great post! What I am surprised about — after seeing the Doostang site is that do not list any pricing details. This is certainly one for a lawsuit — being both a deceptive trade practice and fraudulent marketing. Primary Industry. Information Services B2C. Other Industries. Social Content. Parent Company.

There are no third-party recruiters on Doostang, and there are no anonymous posts. Doostang customers always know for certain if their resumes have been viewed by a hiring manager.

In three weeks, I received two job offers. Initially I was afraid that seeking a career change would be difficult since I have limited experience and I was seeking a career change in a difficult economic environment. I paid for a resume review and revision with Doostang. I received a team of professionals who gave me input, worked with me directly until I was happy 3 revisions and the day I decided to test drive my new resume I got a direct call back from a recruiter.

I've leveraged this resume 10 times, and received 6 direct, in-person interviews that have led to 2 job offers and I'm still waiting for another one, based upon the verbal the hiring manager just gave me. Great job on my professional presentation, Doostang Resume Service! Thank you! I'm a mid-career professional with solid credentials and a resume that didn't pass the 30 second test. I really got a lot out of the review and critique. The reviewer was honest and his observations relevant. My old resume was crowded, task oriented and unfocused.

I only needed one edit, and was pleased to talk my writer through the changes. My new resume is shorter, succinct, and worded in a way that translates the tasks to relevant accomplishments. Very good investment. I don't know. I did not have a subscription, I only paid for a "service".
