Nope. but I've been checking out:
Hotjobs.com
Flipdog.com
Monster.com
Careerbuilder.com
Dice.com
Nettemps.com
NYTimes.com

I check them *daily* and respond immediately to any job I qualify for. I then follow up with a phone call. Not much success.

Many jobs posted on line are either fake or already filled. Check back each day and you'll see the same jobs posted with a new date. I've been doing this for years and sometimes I even see the same generic from the same company posted online. Most of these offenders are contract companies.

AJB might be more useful to you. They're affiliated with each state's unemployment/welfare/FS agencies. AJB WANTS to get you employed so that you DON'T have to ask for 'help' of the local Social Services.

Also, a lot of times, they have jobs that are NOT offered to the 'general public'.(by doing that, the employer gets a tax break or something, when they hire someone)

Most online jobs appear to be fake, either scams by headhunters to expand their database of candidates, or by companies not seriously looking, but also wanting to expand their datbase when their budgets go up, or companies wanting to get some responses by Americans before saying "no qualified Americans" and hiring an H1B.

The newspaper classifieds are, IMHO, a better indication of the job scene since the company actually has to pay some money to get listed.
