Online job sites complete with each other.  Their goal is to have as many possible openings for your needs.  The more jobs that they can post, the more individuals they can lure to the website.  This may be the very best way for you to find your next job, but wading through all of these websites may be time consuming.  Most that are searching for a job do not have a huge amount of time to do that. In addition, most employers will decide if they will pick up one or several online job sites depending on things like their past experience, the need that they have and what contacts they may have set up.  In other words, there is not a way to know where they will post their opportunities.  What do you do then?
