So, the best way to get a job is simply to network with as many people as possible. Some of the best jobs aren't even advertised.

But referrals, I suspect, will always top the list of ways people find work. Although, with better and better tools coming online to help with the job hunt, people may find companies they want to work for, track them, and then find a referral *into* those companies to get a leg up on competition. There are a number of holes in the online job market space. Too many to go into in 1 comment...but I think it's becoming more and more natural for candidates to do real research online, and not just cruise job boards for listings. Especially passive candidates who already have jobs, but like to keep their options open.

I lost my job and I pounded the digital pavement for 2 months. Then one day a friend told me the place where she worked was hiring. That is where I have been for the past 7 months. There is nothing like word of mouth to get you a better job. Besides, the only places that called me for interviews from Monster is the places wanting you to sell knives. I'm not allowed to use butter knives, let alone carrying around a case of butch knives. I totally agree. I lost my job and I pounded the digital pavement for 2 months.
