Being creative applies to both the application process AND the search process. For instance, one of the coolest jobs I've come across this month is for Social Games Quantitative Analyst at PopCap, which sounds significantly cooler once you read the description (http://tbe.taleo.net/NA9/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=POPCAP&cws=1&rid=284 http://tbe.taleo.net/NA9/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=POP...) My point is that if you want your dream job, also break out of the standard "ruby on rails nosql..." keywords you're using and feel free to browse rather than just searching.
