Looks like there’s a new type of job site coming that’ll match job candidates with the best-fitting jobs and where job seekers can market themselves through rich media. The site is http://www.careerdaisy.com
They say it’ll launch in the fall. Currently, they have the “keep me informed” site up and promise to post new content about CareerDaisy regularly until the fall.
My take on it is to STAY on the job boards but they are just one small component in a search. You need to rely on contacts, family and friends to help. You need to get your name out there. Also, get involved in things that are not necessarily job related. Maybe someone in your knitting class would work at a place that has a job opening…who knows?
There are also good networking groups out there–Acton Networkers and WIND (Wednesday is NEtworking Day) come to mind, as well as the New England Job SHow.

Stay off job boards…the number one factor accounting for double-digit increases in the average length of unemployment is the reliance on job boards.
