Actually that's not true
I have been doing job search (and got one thank for Internet), but your approach is too lazy. You are supposed to do networking and talking with recruiters. Just publishing your resume will not buy you anything except an occasional e-mail offer which is mismatch frequently.

If you want to get a really well paid job then better grab phone and talk to those people from offers. Job offers are frequently published with delay, but you can get another one.

No I will not tell you what days of week are the best to apply for jobs to spend least time on seeking one while having the most return. I worked hard enough to figure it out myself and that's competition secret. In any case I got jobn with high profile Wall Street operating (securities) corporation... thanks to Internet.

Some of us got lucky to get a job weven with Bloomberg this way.

And yes out of tens and hundreds of comunications (usually e-mails) you can sometimes get 5% of response. these days job market is great, but I bet that most of responses will be mismatch based on finding some word in your published resume.

How bad those search engines/match engines are... weel put a word that you worked in IT developing some system for human resources at some seafood processing company and they may send you an offer for fisherman job wink
