I have professional experience, have opted to continue my education and seeking employment to fill the gaps. There's just too many job boards out there today and all of them have the same listings. The problem is too many seekers, not enough positions available to fill. I have to agree with Elizabeth.

The problem with this is recruiters get 15% of all executive searches and fill half of them, and only 1% of anybody ever gets a job from a job board.

Are you saying that 75% of people will not use a recruiter (typically thought of as someone who is paid by the employer), or that 25% would be willing to pay for a recruiter themselves? No one should ever pay a recruiter themselves, and why would 75% NOT use a recruiter that's paid for by the employer? I’m not sure I understand.
