On the Job Hunt

[eric at newmag.org (D Eric Chadbourne)]

Hey all.  I've just heard that my contract will end in a couple of 
months as a data analyst. Great job, learned a ton and my boss was the 
coolest.  The contract lasted a year longer than expected so no 
complaints.  So...

I post my resume on monster.com and like the next day this company 
called toospoiled.com contacts me to work for them.  Website admin. 
Wow, it's like a dream come true.  Health benefits and all!

It's hard to describe exactly what got my attention.  All the alarm 
bells started going off.  But I firmly believe that it's a network of 
websites designed merely to get your personal information and then take 
advantage of you.  They haven't got my SSN or anything like that but 
they sure are trying hard.

So just a warning about toospoiled.com and shame on monster for giving 
my info to these guys.  (I'm going to bitch at monster directly in my 
next email.)

Where do you guys go when you're looking for work?  Is there an on-line 
service you use?  TIA.
