What are some good ways of searching for jobs?

It would help if you told us what sort of job(s) you're looking for. Something like waitress at a restaurant is better done in person, even if the manager still insists you go to the corporate website to submit your resume. There are websites, like Monster, which are generic job sites you can search for free. If you're looking for a tech-related job, you'll want to look at Dice (Dice.com) which only specializes in tech/IT jobs. I'm sure there are similar sites for different industries as well. Otherwise, there's Craigslist (Help Wanted) and your local newspaper (most are now online.) If at all possible, submit the resume directly to the hiring manager - NOT HR, and not some job-kiosk at the store. If you know someone at the company, give them your resume to submit to the manager. Sometimes they might get a referral bonus if you end up getting hired. Even without the bonus, referrals are given priority over random strangers coming in off the street.

from personal experience, I went to uni to do a degree in computer science, that was 2 years ago and still no job in what i was trained to do. However, now I'm self employed working for a international company as a business development manager. Their now looking for people - full training and support is provided.. may the source below may help?
