Is there a site that guarantees good jobs? I'm currently a programmer and I need a job (C++ is my prefered language)

 

But I am lost and I have no clue where to look. I don't really like bidding on jobs sites, I think they're a waste of time and I don't think it is for me.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Not for just a single programming language... Id suggest you go to some company websites and see their job postings... You'd typically need a 4 year degree and sever languages under your belt though...

Reading between the lines... are you having trouble finding jobs?  Or are you just having trouble finding "good paying" jobs?  If it's the latter, what's your definition of "good paying" for someone of your experience level?  Are you an entry-level job candidate who feels entitled to more than entry-level pay?

The previous post raises a good point. Where you are in your programming career definitely matters, but I'm of the opinion that job sites are not the way to go. I can't decide whether you agreed with that in your post or if you just disagree with bidding on these jobs sites. Anyway, I say don't look on job sites if you are. Being professional, personable and friendly are very big factors. Look online for places around your city you might want to work, then print off a resume (put it in a brown envelope and wear a suit if you want to be really classy) then go and introduce yourself to the people there. The effort alone in doing this is generally well-recognized and scores you points with the person who is going to hire you right away. I've even had people recommend me places to try even if they couldn't accept me as an employee. This strategy is very much worth the time and effort.

I was going to make a mean joke about your grammar, but decided against it.

Java, PHP, SQL and Javascript are the most sought-after programming languages these days.

 

Not to mention Android Java and Objective C for iOS.

 

C++ is down on the list.
