This is continued from a previous post and outlines my experience with Contena. Read that if you are dying for the details of the prequel.

Once I got my official invitation email, and I was able to log in, the first thing was a request for a fee to access the site. I read through all of the details, the prompts and provided my billing information, primarily because of the 30 day money back guarantee.

That made me feel better. You would too, right? Needless to say, once I got logged in, there are no real opportunities.

Well, that’s not entirely true. There are opportunities but even Contena’s algorithm rates them as poor and how do they get these opportunities?

Contena just has a feed from other websites and job posting sites that lists the opportunities. SO, if you found your dream job, you would click the handy dandy link and it would automatically take you where? To another website. Outside of Contena. That doesn’t require Contena. Or a fee.

What are these other websites? Most are simply just job sites with filters set to remote, freelance, contract, etc.

Now, not to be a completely negative Nelly, but I did master my Google search skills at a fairly young age. If I hadn’t these days, I have AI to help me out in the form of Cortana, Siri, Bixby and Google’s own voice activated search functionality.

Top that off with the cherry that is Google’s job search alerts which you can put a very robust parameter in, and explain to me what makes Contena unique.
