It's not that I don't know how to find a job. I'm in my mid 50s and have been working my whole life.

Challenge I'm running into now us that my last two jobs were both very long (ten years and eight years), both nonprofit and in another country (i just recently moved back to the US). I know how to find jobs in the non profit world but I am interested to make the move from non profit to yes-profit. My cv is on monster.Com and I 've had a number of recruiters contact me, mostly with "jobs that are an exact match for you!!!" (not).

So where does one go these days to job search- Internet? Agencies - and if so, which are the good ones?
I am college educated, experience in administration, editing, event management etc.

Advice?

Get on Indeed.com to identify jobs across the country. Then customize your resume to the job and go directly to the individual company's website to apply.


Also, talk to all of your employed family and friends and ask them to refer you to jobs from their internal job postings.
