Reportedly, the only board that is reported to generate a reasonable number of jobs is CraigsList. "While indeed sites like monster and dice have been no help at all, having a resume online and making sure it can be found through search engines worked out well for me. What I did was this: Put a version of my resume online. Not on one of the job-sites, but on my own website. Make it available in several formats: Word, HTML, plain text and maybe PDF. Then I submitted the url to a number of search-engines, including Google [google.com] and the Open Directory Project [dmoz.org]. What I found is that sites specializing in tech-resumes often copy the content of the ODP resume section. Many hits for my resume come from such sites. The rest come from keyword search-engines, so it's a good idea to put the right keywords in your resume: Try to think of which terms a recruiter (NOT the tech-manager) would search for when looking for a candidate in your field. Remember, this is a non-technical person, so "buzz-words" (annoying as they are) tend to work best. The result is that even 7 months after I found a job, my resume gets 50-60 hits a month and every once in a while I get an email from a serious recruiter." "Here's the trick I learned. Don't bother applying to any of the jobs on monster! But be sure to put a profile on monster/yahoo with lots of keywords. HR and contractors are not interested in receiving lots of letters and resumes from people who are trying to fit their skills into a job description. More likely, they want to punch in a few keywords and then email 5 or so people who they think have that skill (and other things)." (Both from a Slashdot Blog)
