Matt,
In regards to Dice, Monster, CareerBuilder and the rest, you can control the
data that is out there by choosing your privacy options well. I have
résumés on all three sites and can control how the data is seen. I can have
them listed as "confidential" which will not share your personal information
(name, address, phone, etc.) and prospective employers can contact you
through e-mail - but it's filtered through the website and it's not a direct
connection to you.
It's all up to you and how you want to make it work. If you want more
referrals, then you can increase your visibility online - LinkedIn, Dice,
Monster, the other job sites. If you wish to maintain things the way that
they are, then you're fine.

Thank you to everyone who have so generously shared their experiences and
expertise. I will certainly give LinkedIn a closer look.
Monster/Dice/CareerBuilder are undeniably good spots to find work - I
usually prefer to respond to what's there vs uploading a resume - again in
that preference I'm probably not making the right choice but I do have a bit
more control over the degree of information and queries that need to be
responded to. No risk of information overload, and needing to build up your
"Sorry, I'm booked" muscles are not an issue either when the work is already
there
The good news in doing things the 'old-school' way, (word of mouth referrals
to fill your schedule) is that after working 40 - 60 hrs a week for a while
now by this method, when a down-day comes along on a Monday or a Tuesday I
have to just relax and take the time to rest & recharge. The heat-wave has
broken, and what better time time build that 10x12 equipment shed that I've
been needing?
A break in the pace is not necessarily a bad thing, in this case anyway
Great group here!
