Another benchmark in the job search, I finally got a recruiter trying to recruit me for a job I’d already applied to.
Also, at an ex-coworker’s suggestion (who has since switched jobs since I left Yahoo! to become a Talent Acquisitioner), I submitted my resume to dice.com as well, and I think that helped. For tech people, at least:
dice.com > hotjobs.com >> monster.com
At least that was what I noticed.
Also, I’ve been turning off my ringer on the phone for the last few days, it would have saved me being woken up on Monday, except that my good friend the guy with the extremely loud ladder who likes banging it against the building right outside my window was back.
Dice is certainly more specialized and probably best for highly technical jobs. The one web-based dot-bomb job I got in 2000 was a hotjobs posting, if I remember it right, and I wasn’t at my most technical then. And I have a low opinion of monster (and here I thought it was just me).
