Job Hunting
I came across a interesting article in the New York Times today that speaks to the challenge of job hunting.
In my early days of job hunting, my father was my adviser. His advice which worked then was to get up early and knock on doors all day. He said sometimes a site would put you to work right away.
I passed on the same advice to my son. In today’s low end jobs this method of job hunting is not nearly as effective as in days passed. My son found his job in a warehouse, from a job board site.
The point of the Times article is that you need a mix of technology; sites like, Career builder, monster.com, Ladders, etc, with the old fashion way of meeting people that may be the hiring manager.
Given the uncertainty of today’s job market, many people will be job hunting, some for the first time in many years. Read this article on job hunting and then come back and let us hear your comments.

Despite the stats, I see so many high paying jobs posted on employment sites -
http://www.linkedin.com (networking)
http://www.indeed.com (aggregated listings)
http://www.realmatch.com (matches you to jobs)
I still see 100K, 125K and 200K jobs
