My last two I found on Craigslist. It'll be interesting to see the results of this. You should make this a poll to gather better statistics!

A subcontractor found my resume from somewhere.......

List of place I had my resume:

DICE
Careerbuilder
Monster

FloOz

I had a family member working at the same company

I think there is already a poll going that was started a couple days ago on the same subject...

There was a poll on which job board, which led to a lot of "through a friend" responses. I think this has merit as its own poll.

Good point!

Thru my community college, they are linked with a job board. I applied to two positions and both called back within a week. One hired me practically on the spot. I have no certifications as of yet, but I was a LAN admin on a Submarine for 2 years, and worked a few help desk jobs while in school getting my CS degree.

I went in for an interview, job was posted on the company website.
I did not get the job

I emailed the guy who I interviewed with about once a week. Letting him know that I am still interested in future positions and such.
Eventually a spot opened and he gave it too me a few months later

Should have both listed...

Current Job was posted on district web site while my former 2nd job was off of Dice.

As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the oil!

I answer a lot of questions on linkedin where requiters hang out and one of them contacted me.

that was the plan. in the interview (2nd one) he mentioned how he knows i am under-qualified but he can tell from my constant harassment that i am motivated.

What do you mean? Like recruiters messaged you on Linkedin? Or you post somewhere on there...

Current one I got from a recruiter friend. Upcoming permanent gig I got from a random recruiter call, plus I have a church buddy who is a SQL admin at the same place.

1. Craigslist
2. Linkedin (was contacted by recruiter)
3. Linkedin-Current (was contacted by recruiter)

Some of the linkedin groups some are pretty technical, so I have answered a few people's problems. Someone seen them and they in-boxed me and asked if I wanted to interview.
