- There are numerous job search boards on the internet run by mentally defective people who think engineers want to work as trash collectors, restaurant dishwashers in restaurants, or gas station attendants
People who run such boards should be committed to mental hospitals. I have to sort through hundreds of job descriptions describing unrelated jobs. This is done to ensure I don't have enough time to look for relevant jobs.
The first category includes job boards that show you all jobs all jobs-no sorting-violates can-spam act. I will just supply names, not links to these job sites because you don't need them (unless you are a doctor and want to get a job pumping gas!);- - examples: Wullo, Startwire, Jobungo, JobHub. Elance, FindTheRightJob, Jobs2Careers, Jobsreport, FreeDreamJobs, Doostang, Careerbotique, Careerarc, Careerbum, Careerbliss, Jobberman, Get-Me-Jobs, Apply-4-Jobs, SnagaJob

To minimize e-mail from dumb recruiters who don't understand what "Not able to relocate" means, include your location in the title of the resume. My resume is titled "Larry Tessari Detroit Area Resume." Any recruiter who still doesn't understand gets his e-mails sent to the Junk folder. I don't have time to deal with ignorant people who think that a resume with the word Detroit in it means I am looking for a job in Texas!
There is a situation in the U.S. that is very unfair to job-seekers. When a company needs an employee, they submit a requisition to a large number of staffing companies (also called employment agencies or recruiters.). Then when the prospective employer receives a duplicate submission, they automatically disqualify the job candidate. Many staffing companies will submit a resume even if the job candidate tells them not to just to stifle their competitors. Companies also vary tremendously on the length of time they consider a submittal to be multiple. Some, like General Motors, consider a job candidate to have been submitted multiple times if the job candidate has been submitted more than once in the past year. Others, like Visteon, only consider a job candidate to have multiple submittals if the job candidate has been submitted more than once in the same month. This situation is very detrimental to job-seekers
I understand that many staffing companies like this situation because they currently have a very high mark-up (the difference between what they pay the contract employee and that they charge the client) and if their client companies were forced to accept multiple submissions, there would be price competition and the profits would go down. Staffing companies typically have a markup of around 40%, which is definitely excessive. Clearly, this situation constitutes a price-fixing situation in restraint of free trade.
Staffing companies should be forced to compete just like other businesses do. I think you should support some legislation to correct this situation. An auto company can't refuse to let me buy a car because I shopped at several different dealers.
All the job sites using the TALEO software take too long to apply to.
