Internet Job Boards a Bunch of Hype?

Posted by Cliff on Friday February 20, 2004 @08:56AM from the making-the-want-ads-look-good-by-comparison dept.

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 have found that the best place to find places (especially in the Bay Area) is Craigslist.org. Its the first place that everyone I know checks - and not just for jobs, but for housing, cars, and relationships! ;)
