I hope no one tells anyone about this outside this forum–but the best way to find jobs is to investigate jobs on employer websites. This is where most of the jobs are and I found this far more effective than other means.
I started using a research jobs site called hound that I do not think anyone knows about because it is run by a small company that does not advertise. I
All hound does is show you unadvertised job openings that are not publicly advertised and are located on employer websites.
Very few people realize that most employers post their job on their own sites and not on job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. because these sites charge employers up to $500 to post a single job. In my experience (I am getting more interviews that I ever have), your chances of getting interviews and hired are much better when you are applying to jobs that are not advertised that no one knows about.
I have gotten a ton of interviews through the hound site . If you are looking for a job I would highly recommend using hound . What most people do not realize is that most jobs are found on employer websites and not job boards. hound puts all of the jobs it finds from employer websiste (every Fortune 500, Inc. 500 and other company it can locate) on its site.

When you start seeing sites advertise themselves a lot that should be a warning sign of sorts because that means that lots of people will start going and applying to the jobs. I really trust hound because it does not advertise.
I found this site on the internet and felt I had to share it with you all.
It doesn't matter what you are interested in, it doesn't matter what you do
for your day job, in these tough times a little extra is always appreciated.
I spoke with the owner of the site last night and he asked me to pass the
word that their doors will close once the site is up and running. People are
starting to sign up in droves because you will immediately see this is THE
REAL STUFF. The stuff that the other people making money wish you didn't get
to know about. You might have heard phrases like this before so all I can
say is, check it out quickly before it is closed for good.
I signed up at http://www.theaffiliatepalace.com and they are showing me how
to make money on the internet. These guys are the real deal, if you don't
believe me check out their page, they will give you one of their methods
absolutely free, so that you can see the quality of their service. Just try
it for yourself, if it doesn't work it's cost you nothing and you've lost
half an hour of your time, but if it does like it did for me… Oh Boy!
They teach 5 new methods every month and they also have everything you need
to start selling online right away, even if you don't have your own product,
web page or hosting.
If you are feeling brave, I will see you there.

Thanks for listening and sorry for the interuption.
All the best
I don't know about that "Affiliate Palace". One thing that's a bit odd is that the site has no Privacy Policy or Terms of Service which would be basic information that an experienced affiliate or marketer would KNOW to have on their site.
Also, it seems to be an incredibly poorly optimized opt-in page.
However, that being said, I took a look at one of their free reports and it's actually pretty good – a bit "grey hat" but if you can live with that it's worth checking out.
Amazing. Someone actually spammed my blog with something useful.
We'll forgive them this time. LOL.
