“I was referred to Doostang by a friend who had recently found a job through the site. My initial response was ‘Doostang, what kind of name is that? I doubt I’ll find a job using it but I’ll give it a shot’.

Prior to becoming a Doostang member, I had obtained a few interview opportunities through recruiters, UofI’s alumni network and referrals, but none of them provided the volume and quality of job postings that Doostang provides.

I was impressed with Doostang’s database of jobs, as well as the ease with which one can apply for jobs and the ability to directly connect with hiring managers (as opposed to getting thrown in a stack of hundreds of other resumes).

Within the first week of being a member, I applied for over ten different jobs. The next week I was contacted by two of the companies that I had applied for and was asked to interview.

The interview process was successful and I started my new job within a month of becoming a Doostang member.

The reason why my success story is most likely common among other members is that with Doostang, candidates have so many quality jobs to choose from that they can narrow their search criteria and find the job opportunities that fit them best. I’ve already recommended this site to friends and colleagues and when they ask me what Doostang means I just tell them to try out the site, they won’t be disappointed.”
