Do employers actually use job search engines?

I live in California. I got laid off from my job 4 months ago. It is required from the unemployment agency to post a resume online on the government page for employers to use if they're looking to hire people. For six months no one has contacted me. I've been job hunting for a long time. My question is do employers actually use these government job search engines?

1. In my experience, most of these engines are used for lower level positions. For mid management to (and specially to) higher positions, companies tend to use head hunters. It is also very good to put your resume NOT only in one engine but in the ones you find more complete. The more field you write on, the better. Don't let unanswered questions, be honest and in an open ended question, express yourself and describe your experience in full (remember you want your resume to shine, not over a hundred, but over a million other resumes). If you really want a good job, put all your effort to it. On the other hand: In the meantime, I strongly recommend you to join a Network Marketing company. I could mention the one I joined, but I don't want to push you in any way. When you select a network marketing company: focus on these things: - Find a company that distributes products that YOU LIKE - A company with many years of experience - A company with people and PROCESSES that will help you and GUIDE YOU to achieve your goals. - A company that will constantly train you (check for quantity and quality of the training) - Most important of all: a company that will help you have POSITIVE cash-flow within the next 3 months. Doesn't really matter if it's only $100 but it does matter that this cash-flow is positive and not negative. And also, that those $100 will increase from month to month. - Make sure you join a team of committed individuals who can show you their own results and also they can show you how they have helped other achieve their financial goals. - Make sure you feel conformable! Keep in mind that it takes time, nothing is done over night and don't think that you will make millions in the first month (you can do it if you dedicate the time and the quality of your work) It works faster than climbing the corporate ladder but really it won't happen over night. If you have set your mind to dedicate 40 to 50 years to another company, why not 3 to 10 years in a network marketing company? Also keep in mind that being part of a network marketing company is a constant learning, very different from the corporate world most of us. Very, extremely important to keep an open mind and a strong desire to achieve your goals. Sorry for the Caps, I was not shouting, but I didn't know any other way to highlight the important parts.
