1.find local jobsites geared toward your local area

2.Only apply to jobs you are good fit for

3.When there is no job to apply to read up on ways of becoming better at job interviews or anything else job related

4.Jokingly bring up to other people that you are not working so they will be more willing to help you

5.Try Cold Emailing instead of Cold Calling Employers

6.Put in 40-45 hours of job search activity each week

7.If you are not getting calls backs after 3-4 weeks of applying, tweak your resume

8.Don't go to Careerbuilder, Hotjobs, or Monster as your primary choice for job openings

9.Attach a brief Cover letter with every job you apply to which is two paragraphs.

10.Don't let the Local or National News scare you about how tough the economy is and how unemployment is rising because they are in the business to report news. There are jobs out there you just have to find out where they are.

Well if I was able to find a job making more money than I was at my last job then I would say I'm qualified to give tips. Of course I couldn't give these tips a month ago.

Oh crikey - how could one not see this coming. Once you actually start your new job I guess we can look forward to reading daily reports documenting every little glitch and burp. The suspense is too much to bear.

Whatever, I'm making 15% more than at my last job, and found a new one in five weeks. That and a dollar will get me a cuppa at 7-11.

One think I can say for you, TVGuy is you are trying to help people based on your experience. You aren't pointing fingers, being rude, telling people they are losers unless they bow down to the all mighty HR person.

Each person has a job search path. I am glad you found the job you wanted. Thanks for the tips. I hope your new job is very successful.

I see... maybe you should try for someone who doesn't have such a schoolgirl way of showing it.
