Interesting considering that job sites produce few actual hires. [msnbc]

If you look at the results of this search, you'll notice how few listings are really jobs to do with usability. They just have a keyword of usability in there. You really have to wade through.
Incidentally, my current position (in the usability field) was first found using Monster.

I agree with JK - people like to put the word 'Usability' in job descriptions, but the job itself will most of the time have nothing to do with Usability.
It's a tuff market right now.

Job sites suck. They really do. According to a Forrester report (not that I put much stock in [BigResearchCo] reports), only 4% of people find jobs online.
I could write a long explanation of why job sites don't work, but that would become an article by itself, and this place is just for posting comments. ;)

PPS: I'd like to coin "Googling" as an official term for searching on Google :P
PPPS: John, Greymatter chokes on autoconverting URLs with commas in them. (Not that you can do much about it, but just FYI.)
