Cindy, Jeff, I totally agree. I wish I would have known that right when I got laid off though.

Carl – yep, that was a cool thread, with very interesting thoughts from regular people, and I found your response to be very very thoughtful.

Internet job searching should be “one” of a job hunter’s strategies – not the “only one. ”

Here’s an excerpt from my blog about this issue …

If it appears to be too good to be true (the Internet job search), it probably is!

Jason – Your job search experience mirrors that of nearly everyone that uses a job board.

You write in your post, “There is a lot of confusion out there – I was certainly confused – and mad that I had to (a) go login to various job boards every day to see what was new, and (b) fill in the boxes for my resume AGAIN, and in a different way for all those crazy sites!!! How frustrating!!”. The key text, “various job boards”, opens the door for a more efficient way for employers and prospective employees to intersect. I’m not suggesting that we need more job boards. On the contrary, we need job search management tools that do a better job engaging job seekers with relevant, contemporary and meaningful information. Kudos to JibberJobber – you have done a masterful job of developing an ease to use, accessible and engaging career management solution. Keep innovating … job seekers everywhere are ready …!
