Student Job Sites Hit or Miss* Student Job Sites Hit or Miss

Plenty of places on the internet are geared toward helping would-be employees find a job. But what if you're looking for seasonal or part-time employment -- is there a more appropriate place to hit up than traditional job sites?
Its interesting for me that so many places are catering to employment, though its seems counter intutive; the proper ideal would be to teach students the skills needed for todays work place. Sending someone to an agency to get hired just sounds lack-lustle to me; shouldn't they be told "Mr. Doe.. you need. blah.. blah.. blah.. for us to hire you.."

I recently heard:
"Hire for Attitude, Train for skill"

So true, but I fear that so much of our education, while beneficial toward cognitive development, is not leading to further employment opportunity, unless you want to become a teacher.
