I like using http://www.EmploymentCrossing.com for job search due to the fact that the site shows only jobs from employer career pages. There are numerous advantages to finding jobs from employer career pages but the main ones are (1) these are not advertised and receive fewer applications and (2) there is no middleman (recruiter) forwarding your resume to the employer and (3) there are more jobs on employer career pages than job boards.
