Does anyone know of a job search website that matches people to jobs based on skills?

I’m basically thinking of something that will think of every imaginable skill people can have in the workplace, and you’ll check something like “I have skill and experience,” “I have skill but not experience,” “I have experience but no skill (sad)” and then will produce a drop-down window that matches your answers to jobs — sort of a virtual placement counselor. Has anyone seen anything like that?
Ignore the “drop down window” part. I really just confused matters.
Hey Kevin. I checked it out. It’s interesting. Definitely on…

What should I do about this job search situation?

I’ve posted my resume online. Let me start with telling you about me. I am ethnic. My first name is French and my last name is Spanish. Well, I got an email today about a few jobs I am qualified for but the company says they a black professional networking community.

Should I apply for these positions? Do you think because of my ethnic sounding name, they contacted me?

How can I make a “follow up call” for my job search (a week later) without giving away my identity?

I have good reasons for me not to give away my name, age and grade level in school when I make my “follow up” call.

How can I not reveal my name and my age when I make the follow up call to see how the hiring process is going? (for a minimum wage job or close-to minimum wage job)

How do you job search while you are still employed?

does that limit you to word of mouth and advertised positions where you can send out your resume?

How to answer an interview question about how my job search has been going?

I have been asked this a few times. Do I want to say that I have been interviewing a lot and have them wonder why I haven’t been offered a position, or tell them I haven’t been interviewing much and come across as desperate?

How to deal with past supervisors during a job search?

I resigned under bad terms with a past supervisor when I did not receive a promised promotion and raise. To make matters worse, 2 fellow employees followed me to my new employer. Now, years later, applications are asking me for the names and numbers of past supervisors. The positions I am applying for are professional level positions. I feel that it is wrong for future employers to speak to anyone but HR. Thoughts on how to handle this situation? Are there any laws dealing with this? Thanks.

How would you evade your present (vindictive) employer from seeing your internet job search?
