I have always been skeptical of head hunters

I've been on a total of 10 job interviews via headhunters.... ALL of them wild goose chases, they are terrible at matching your skills to a job... they sent me to interviews for entry level positions when I have over 7 years in the field... of course when you ask them "is this an entry level position?" they say "I don't think so, but it'll be a good job" all in all my experience with headhunters has been nothing but a waste of time. They either send you to jobs that your over or under experienced for or temp positions that only last a few weeks.

The best way to find good jobs is to network... meet people and go from there. A friend of mine actually goes online and finds local tech organizations goes to meetings and meets people that way and he's actually had a good amount of luck finding jobs that way. I always found jobs via word of mouth and through friends.
