Benjamin Franklin once wrote “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”

Hmm... this wasn't really what I was expecting.

It's a good list of job boards for IT jobs. And if you're looking for a job (and moreso, if you're currently unemployed) you should probably be taking the time to go through each one (and more).

However ... I wouldn't say that any of them "help" you find a job anymore than a billboards "helps" you find a new skirt to wear to work. When I saw the title, I expected to see a list more like this:

http://standoutjobs.com/

http://www.visualcv.com/

http://www.linkedin.com/

http://stackoverflow.com/

and of course, my very own: http://codeanthem.com/

Shameless promotion: http://www.startupshiring.com

The job boards on 37signals and stackoverflow are not in the list! I am not sure how these kind of boards can be left out? I agree with mahmud's comment. This could be for SEO.

I'd like to know how many people actually find positions using job sites like this. It'd also be interesting to differentiate by experience, notoriety, and ability. That is, does Zed Shaw really use job sites to find his next employer?

The link looks like it was planted here for SEO, not your edification.

Disappointing. I would have been interested in those statistics.
