I've used AT forums for a couple years, but this topic finally motivated me enough to register and get involved. There are alot of very qualified people who post here, and it is a good idea to try and leverage that if possible.

I find that the large-scale job sites have become almost unusable. I'll just give an example of something that happened to me last year when I was job hunting:

I received an email from a company that appeared interested in me and my skills... let's call the company 'Happy Elves' and the job site I was posting on we'll call 'ScaryCreature' (dot com). I spent far too much time preparing for a job interview with the Happy Elves, and when I arrived at the interview... the position was for selling life insurance to senior citizens.

At that point I enquired why I would be a good fit for the position, since my resume was clearly titled 'Senior Software Engineer'... and the interviewer replied, in all seriousness, "Well, your resume indicated interested in working with Seniors, and we thought you could be a great fit."

True story, but probably not uncommon.

To summarize, I support job hunting and networking at a more local level, like we find in AT forums.
