Thank you for the information. I'm sure that it will be invaluable for those who are looking.
It seems that these companies are looking for employees and are hiring, but are they really hiring or are they just advertising! I've gone to several of these companies after emailing my resume to them, and hey, they're always hiring! But really they're not. You're resume/application just gets filed cause it's just another way to keep their name in the public eye. Really, how many people do these "hiring employers" need? They're continually advertising for employees!

Donna,
Thanks for your interesting comment. These companies are listing hundreds, and many list thousands of positions. If it's just to keep their name in the public eye, there are less expensive and more effective ways.
With 6.1 unemployed to every job advertised (recent DOL stats) companies can afford to only talk to those they think are "perfect matches".
This blog gives ideas how to be perceived as a "perfect match" more often.
