Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype?

netglen brings us an article that discusses the reality behind online job sites like Monster, Hotjobs, and CareerBuilder. It appears that, while these sites may try to make you believe otherwise, they may not be the best bet in helping you find employment. netglen asks: "So, is this article accurate in its account on how poor these boards perform in finding [jobs]? This sounds pretty dismal to me. Two years ago, I tried Monster for the first time, and I managed to get a job on the first try. Since then I haven't gotten anything. Does anyone in IT even use these boards to look for a job?"

I looked and found a job that I could do so I sent my resume to the people responsible for hiring people and well I got an email saying that I'm everything they're looking for being an employee, but I could never get in contact with them again. I've called them from six to eight times with in three weeks at normal business hours, and left quite a few messages, and even emailed them twice, but they never called back nor emailed me back. So basically I said fuck them and tried looking for other jobs, and nada. Everything these days it's about the whole .NET garbage which I won't even waste my time with.
