Over 90% of companies post their entire job description or some modified version of it as a job advertisement.

Why?

One often overlooked issue during a long job search is what to do with the overabundance of free time. You can’t spend you’re entire day sending out resumes, calling recruiters, hitting the pavement, scouring job boards or waiting for your government bailout. Unfortunately you are not too big to fail.

Whenever you post a resume on an Internet job boards, it’s not that bad an idea to keep your name, address and any other contact information confidential. If you don’t care who knows you’re job hunting, then it may not be worth worrying about. On the other hands, if you’re still employed and want to search for a new position without your current managers knowing, then proceed with extreme caution.

The problem is that we are not taught to ask good questions. We’re trained to answer questions. But only answering questions doesn’t make an interesting life. After all, if you have all the answers, and you’re spewing them all the time, then you are not learning anything new.
