yep.  I've gotten jobs in all kinds of ways, including from ads in the newpaper.
But I get calls all the time (that being a relative term, given the economy) in
response to my resume on Monster and Dice in particular... and not just from
recruiters.  The calls from employers are always for jobs they have not posted
anywhere, at least not yet.  In other words, employers may not be posting on the
job boards, but they are certainly scanning them.

The market here in L.A. is still pretty thin, and there are more of us applying
for each position.  But the phone is starting to ring again.  That's something.
