> Employers have to advertise the job in local media for 30 days.

Are you sure? It's only true if by "local media" you literally mean a piece of paper on a board in the break room.

>All resumes received, and interview notes must be included in DOL application for labor certification.

You are definitely confusing PERM with H1B. PERM (certification for EBGC) requires advertising, interviewing and is, essentially, a process of proving that there are no Citizens or Resident Aliens willing to take the job. For H1B DOL just certifies that the wages you are paying are adequate for the position. Plus there is a requirement to inform your own employees about the H1Bs, which is done by positing these jobs in "local media" (in one company I've seen those posted in a closet, which also contained a soda machine so it had some foot traffic).
