Believe it or not..I did not even apply for this job..I was found by a staffing agency through HotJobs...She said a LOT of companies do this..the job was never posted to a job board.
Best advice, register with HotJobs..CareerBuilder, Monster...and UPDATE them every 30 days..also check local staffing agency's..I was out of work for 1 yr..and I was basically applying for anything and everything..hoping something would stick, and I ended up with a job I did not even apply for..
