Odd as it may seem, a common complaint that many people have about job search websites is that there is no way to actually apply for a job. Moreover; the vast majority of job sites require you to submit an electronic version of your resume' and a cover letter. We all know that every job has specific requirements, and when you send your resume' and your cover letter as is to all of the potential employers out there with no changes, you will reduce your odds of getting an interview. People intuitively know that you are more likely to get results if you tailor your cover letter or submit versions of it that are in your opinion more meaningful to each potential employer. They could all be slightly different. That is not going to happen with most job listing sites we know of.

In addition to the above problems there are many scams posted on job sites that look a lot like jobs, but in fact are just money-making schemes where the target is you. Sometimes the job sites police these postings, and sometimes they don't. It is up to you to exercise care. Be aware that any job offer that asks you to pay for anything upfront is very likely not a real job offer.
