Hoenestly speaking, you need to talk to some career consultant on how to proceed.
I'm thinking of looking for a professional career consultant. I don't mind paying some fees, as there is conflict of interests with the headhunters/recruiters/agents etc. Do you know of any good ones who look after your interests?

Rather than sticking to the conventional job agencies and 1-1 interaction style, (which i have been actively participating as well), i feel that the internet deserves an equal if not larger chance as well.
Job portals are already saturated by job agencies many years ago, roughly 60% jobs posted on portal are by agencies, 20% under outsourcing arrangements (i.e. agencies using hirer's logo instead of their own) and only 20% by hiring companies themselves.

Going through job portal is no different than calling up or making a trip directly to agency offices. Some companies have long abandoned portals and are going for social media like linked in, but even these are invaded by hordes of agencies now.

I think you're 7 years behind the technological curve buddy.

That is only true for the more traditional contingent perm recruitment.

RPO, temp, contract for service arrangements do not work that way. MNCs & stat boards are outsouring a lot of jr level jobs on such arrangements these days. There is no concept of "recruitment fees" as cost is all rolled inside the contract together with SLA incentives & penalties.

In real life is like half paid by co half by candidate.

Most of jobs offered on the news papers tend to be really ambiguous and vague.
Want to find a place where i can compare jobs, and find a job which fits my criteria as i am looking to work in the job full time, and thus want the best job for myself.
I do not want to go through an agent as they tend to eat into the salary.

I have been looking through certain job search websites such as
Jobstreet
Jobcentral
STjobs

Want to know from formers with experience which one would u deem as most reliable and with the fastest updates.
as i am only planning to use one of them since navigating through each one of them would be very troublesome and i dont want my email to be flooded.

i have created a poll,
and please feel free to give your comments as well.
