assuming nobody wants cold calls from "hey, hire me cause i'm looking"
when they have not advertised the position is a bad thing in my book
	- sending in resumes is little better than cold calls,
	but still wont get a good response ...

i say ... if you want jobs...

	- let them come to you ...
	- much better to be in the "upper hand" during negotiations

- when they enter their keywords in google or wherever, of what they
  want..

	- "you" better be on the 1st page of google...
	if not, you have some marketing/advertising/thinking to do
	to make yourself show up on the 1st page

	- paying $$$ to google is the simplest answer ...

	- next step is to make yourself stick out ( special keywords
	unique to you ) in google/yahoo/alltheweb/excite searches
		- don't bother paying search engine folks
		( you'll just get more spam to buy even more widgets )

- other options ..
	- go to local chamber of commerce meetings
	- look in the paper for who's advertising for job openings
	- go to local **nix meetings that also have "jobs section"

	- go to online job sites, and enter "sacramento"
