Interesting group of Job Search sites

I just found this search engine, The Job Tool- really, a suite of search engines focused on different industries.

www.TheEntertainmentTool.com
www.TheExecutiveTool.com
www.TheFashionTool.com
www.TheFinanceTool.com
www.TheGraphicDesignTool.com
www.TheHospitalityTool.com
www.TheInternshipTool.com
www.TheMarketersTool.com
www.TheNonProfitTool.com
www.TheNursingTool.com
www.ThePublicRelationsTool.com
www.TheRetailTool.com
www.TheSalesTool.com
www.TheSportsTool.com
www.TheTechTool.com

Here's what they say about themselves:

We are a group of human resources and executive search professionals from different industries. We agreed that job boards were often hit or miss but certainly not a fad. Furthermore, these sites, this world, had so much promise as a meeting place for employers and candidates that it was impossible to ignore. For two years we studied general and niche job boards extracting positive pieces and excluding the cumbersome. For two years we listened to employers and candidates needs and forecasts. For the last year we found a better, faster and more fluid way to build not a job board but an employment community. We are here, committed to changing with the needs of your business and your career. Our sites are run by niche experts and developed by you.

While you can view a certain number of jobs for free, many of the jobs are for viewing only by members.

The minimum cost is $14.95 for a month, which will renew automatically month after month unless you cancel it. You also can purchase a six month ($45.95) or twelve month (54.95) membership. With a paid membership, the site also offers resume critique (NOT rewrite) for $39.95, 1/2 hour career coaching sessions at $90/hour, and resume creation for $225.

I have not experienced these services so cannot comment on their effectiveness.
