Geek Sugar's 10 Best

A very Chic Geek from geeksugar.onsugar.com has posted The 10 Best Online Job Search Sites. I think she's "right-on". Even if you have your own top 10 or top 2, it'll do you good to see what she's has to say. Take a look and consider offering a comment there if you have one; and let us HERE know what your thoughts are too. Everyone's curious and the opinions on Job Search Sites go from one extreme to the other and every point in between.

In case you forget to come back after visiting Geek Sugar's website, I'll offer my comment now, which is simply just a note of caution with a sprinkle of advice...

First, “Geek IS chic” and this Chic Geek's post is ABSOLUTELY correct: You CAN “do (you job search) in the comfort of your PJ's and wrapped in the loving arms of your couch”, nonetheless, I SAY, Proceed with Caution and a little moderation won’t hurt either.

The Internet search using Job Search Sites et al (a.k.a. Job Boards) is only ONE avenue in the blueprint (planning) of getting quality interviews and a new opportunity. A key to most successful job searches has often been simultaneously utilizing ALL your job search avenues - "marketing channels", and too, being prepared to do that which you may not want to do, i.e. cold calling and networking which means getting off the computer! In fact, I believe you have to be prepared to network 70% of the time to REALLY be effective in your job search (that can be social networking too with portals like LinkedIn or on the sidelines of you daughter's Lacrosse game).

Beware of the Internet Job Search being too convenient - it can get very comfortable...TOO COMFORTABLE... and the next thing you know you may become complacent in your “busy work”, comfortably at home, working away at your computer, and weeks or even months may float by.
