Employment Websites

Question to anyone out there who might read this blog...are employment websites that require a paid membership worth the money?  In my ongoing job search I have ran across many such websites but I am weary about signing up.  Each one promises big returns, like a job in 2 weeks, but there are so many that it is hard to figure out if they are all being truthful.  And even if they are all accurate in their advertising, which one should I go with?  Lawcrossing appears to be the best, but they also charge $49.95 a month if you don't sign up for a 6-, 12-, or 24-month plan.  I understand that if you are just trying to change jobs, and thus still receiving a paycheck from your current one, that this may not be bad.  But for people like me, jobless and with student loan repayment, this is a HUGE financial commitment.
