in thread Monk to Monk jobs

HotJobs is good because they cater to the company, not the headhunter (I believe it was them). I had more direct company->me contact from them than anyone else.
Also, many sites spider those sites and shove you into their own database. I have gotten calls like: "Hi Kevin, I got the resume you posted on XYZ-board", and I would say "No you didn't, because I didn't.. have a good day".

But yes, the problem is the person writing the ad.. these ads are no good:

SKILLS NEEDED: PERL, C, C++, JAVA, BEANS, SQL, ORACLE, VB, JAVASCRIPT, FLASH, HTML, SCHEME, UNIX, NT, SOLARIS, MYSQL, PYTHON, PHP, CGI, PGP, CYRPTO, SSL, APACHE, IIS. IF YOU HAVE THESE SKILLS, THIS JOB IS FOR YOU!

Cheers,
KM

    Here's a recent one I received. Again, my job search agent says "Perl." Kind of amusing, actually:

    The following opportunity is available immediately: This is a great opportunity to work as an ASIC/FPGA Designer for the leading supplier of transmission networks for broadband access to the home, digital interactive subscriber systems for video, high speed Internet, and voice over IP (VoIP) networks, and worldwide customer service and support.

      What they need to have is a filter smart enough to know when something is being listed as "a plus" vs. part of the daily job. Or, not even a filter, but change their forms so they can catch what is a keyword vs. what is essential right off the bat. I'll add that to my "What Job Boards should change" list ;-)
