You only want to spend about 50% of your time on the Internet. The problem is the competition. Once it hits the boards, a thousand people see the same ad that you did and apply. Its the competition !
The other 50% of your time needs to be spent away from the boards. One technique is to draw up a list of 50 companies within a 25 mile radius of you that might have a need for your skills and visit their career links directly.
Have you ever seen an ad from Microsoft? No and you never will. They get 1,000 apps a week just off their website alone. Many companies do it this way now. They get all the candidates they need from their career link alone and it doesn't cost them a dime.
Also small companies are a good way to find work but they aren't as visible because they don't have the budgets to advertise online. You will have to work harder to find them.
No, it simply doesn't seem to be my thing but that doesn't mean we should give up trying!
