You're right! The reference to Dell is from a 2002 article. My fault -- it came up in a search for companies complaining about lack of talent, but I missed the date on that one. And you're right: Dell is now laying people off. I'm eating a few words... Charles,

In fact, Dell has plenty of disposable "talent" that they are getting rid of.

Whatever it takes to get the job of your dreams is what you should be doing 90% of the time. Job boards serve a purpose in the unemployment race. But, they are not the end-all, magic bullet that will save you from having to do the necessary homework in securing your next position. As ATH has repeatedly pointed out, the job is in the hidden market. The hidden market is not found on job boards. Getting up out of your chair, going into the world to meet with professionals in your industry is where to find the hidden market's jobs. Painful as it sounds and may be to do, it's all in networking, face to face. And, now we have this blog to help us along our way. Looking forward to it. Thanks, Nick! Job boards, schmob-boards!

I spent the first few months working the Monster et al job boards. I soon realized I was investing an enormous amount of time and energy for absolutley no return. Now I focus my efforts on finding the good companies to work for and marketing myself to them directly. I joined a job club and your newsletter is frequently referenced to answer difficult questions. Nick,

You are so right about Monster, and I still don't know why some people believe in Monster. And they are a public company, right ? Or they do have investors ? I just can't believe that. Thanks for your great work and the help you provide for free to so many people. Best regards. FD @ http://www.condhotel.com (Condo Hotel South Beach) Nick,

I made it clear what my expectations for a new job would be after reading Nick's book. The headhunter promptly bought Nick's book and read it. After he read it...he asked me to kindly not mention it others because it tells to many secrets:) Thanks Nick - your the best!

And the same with Doctors. People are complaining that there are no jobs??? I see hard working immigrants from many places like Ireland/Poland/Serbia/Korea/Ghana/China....and these people are truly exceptional workers. Some are working construction - doing roofing and outdoor construction work when it the wind chill is -25....and are happy to do it. They appriciate the freedoms and opportunities that this country has to offer. And they often work extra hours....as they would have been doing back home - but with much less reward/consideration/satisfaction. Don't believe half of the news you read. No wonder print editions of news publications are going the way of the dinosaur.
