I think job hunters need to narrow the focus of their search. Rather than including every possibility, I think it's better to focus on a few key areas and possibly just approach ideal employers individually. Many job hunters go wrong by sending bad generalised emails to the wrong people. A customised email to the person in charge of hiring - actually that still sucks. Find out who would hire you, then call them. Do that all day long. Oh, but make sure you know what to say to the person who answers the phone. Be nice, be concise. I don't know why I'm adding this job hunting advice to your comments. Hi Rosie!
