You can filter your search by state and specialty (this is a generalist site) and there appear to be about 250 jobs. There are also featured employers, featured jobs and even a featured video. Worth looking into as some smaller employers tend to stick with Annals exclusively. The secret to successfully using the web as your job search source is to use it often.

Check back into sites once a week – new stuff is being listed on a daily basis, especially during peak hiring season of September through April. Be smart when using the web. Don’t put anything out there you don’t want seen by the world. Contact only those employers/recruiters that have something very specific to offer you. Contact a prospective employer before sending a CV – call first if you can. Know who is going to get your paperwork and what they are going to do with it. I am advocating paranoia, just good common sense and judgment.

Happy hunting!
