That does not matter much if most businesses make no sense, since at the end of the day you work for only one. I maintain a (short) list of companies that I find interesting, either because I had a good contact with one of their employee or because I'm interested in that particular field they happen to be in. When I look for a job I contact them directly (regardless of any job ad they might have posted or not). I believe the worse companies are the ones hunting harder for employees (that's probably true on the other way round too), which might biases perception towards "all jobs are dull". Hunt for them instead of being hunted. If nothing else works then maybe what you really want inside is to build your own business?
