[quote C(-)ris]I wouldn't put much faith in the job sites, tons of people apply for those jobs. What you should do is hunt down companies that you want to work for and check their job sites for openings, many times they post there before the go to other media outlets. Also check the newspaper. Most newspapers in major cities have their jobs online, but there are some jobs that are only in the newspaper. Lastly, Networking...get your name out there. Tell anyone who is listening that you are looking for a job in that field. They might know someone in the field or bump into someone in the field where they can casually mention you are looking for work.

Anyone means anyone, your barber, your doctor, the next door neighbor, basically everyone you have at least a passing acquaintance with... Consider joining a service or fraternal organization. Is there a professional organization for your field-- join and attend meetings. Are you a church goer? Spread the word there, too.
