Want Ads are Afterthoughts!
One of the first thing job searchers need to understand is that the ONLY reason posted job ads appear in the first place is that the people that will be doing the hiring have ALREADY been through a process to see if they already know of anyone who could do the job!
So by the time you see the want ad the chances of you getting the job interview are nil. Look if you really want to ramp up your job search, then figure out safe ways to meet as many people as you can who are already doing the jobs you think you want to do!
That is pure networking.
