One place NOT to look for work

Don't job search at work. Your company may have the ability to track keyboard taps or websites visited. (Clearing the cache or history won't save you.) I heard of one poor guy who got fired for looking for cars on a company computer.

CBS claims San Jose, California has the most jobs available in the nation. This is apparently based on the number of posting at a job web site. Uh, CBS did you ask how effective that website is at landing jobs? Or how many of those postings are for real jobs?

Your odds of successful job searching on a general job board are better than winning the lotto--but not by enough to matter to you.
