Another thing I think a lot of people forget about is networking. Nepotism and cronyism gets you jobs, not a piece of paper.
Online job hunting is like online dating. It sucks. (And not in the good way) If you want to find the person or the job that's the love of your life you really need to know someone at the company, or who has connections at the company. It's possible to find the right person/job online, but the chance of getting to actually talk to them is almost nothing.
