Why do people bother with online job boards when they have such crappy results?

It is better to exhaust all resources in the job hunt, then to leave some opportunities wasted?

I honestly don't know myself. I've never tried them while I was jobless, so I obviously not been looking very hard, but that's really my thinking on it. They must not be trying to look for jobs very hard.

That would be true if so many people weren't using the internet as their only source to find jobs.

Any job is better than no job at all. And those results are quite old. I know for a fact that Lockhed Martin, which was the example used in that article, did not have any jobs posted on any boards 2 years ago.

First off, it's fun to play with. Secondly, some people actually landed a job from online job boards.

Personally I love Job boards!

I honestly do find that thay work for me when I have had to look for jobs .

My personal favourites here in the UK are monster , totaljobs, jobsite, and reed!

Almost everyone I know searches online for jobs! Although I would not say that it is the only source that we use to look for work!

The current climate is such that you have to try and try and try here and exhaust every option - the more persistent you are the more likely you are to get something!

I find them helpful too - its good to be able to search in my location and find jobs within 5 miles

I find the local area ones are good too - i guess that depends on where you live though, and you could try Hays.

Everyone i know at least starts looking online - then may try a few agencies as well - if you apply on line you dont get any embarrassing phone calls in the middle of the day

How many kittens have you got?

I don't think that's always the case. I've gotten quite a few interviews through job boards. I also once posted my CV and less than 10 minutes later, I got a call from an agent. I was offered the job later that week.
