As you've learned, you need to go to some of the sites where the people who 
aren't drones go to advertise jobs. Craigslist is another good example, at 
least in the USA.

Because everyone knows of Monster.com, so everyone who doesn't know anything 
about hiring goes to monster.com to advertise.

You know someone, and they recommend a position for you. If you were willing 
to move to where someone on p.o-t lives, there would probably be people 
offering you jobs based on what they know of you here.
