What is the best source of job leads?

Answer

Being organized and spending time on the job search can make finding a job faster. Depending on your occupation and experience, finding your job of choice can take 4 to 6 months. Write a good resume, try to make 10 to 15 contacts a day, follow up on interviews and network with everyone to let them know you are looking. If you want a survival job until you find what you would like, you can obtain those faster. Working in department stores, substituting in schools, fast food, working for temporary agencies, etc. will help you pay basic expenses while keeping you "out there." Doing a job like these, even if you never have done them before can be fun as well as giving you insight into other businesses than you would usually get. Also, many states have employment centers where you can access classes in job searching, computers, research materials and a good online website for openings.
