#1 source for career info is

#1 source for career info is http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/ Her tag line "Advice at the intersection of work and life" says it all! Although this may not lead you to an actual position, her writing will prepare anyone for the current job market.

I recommend

I recommend CareerBuilder.com, but you should also check with your alumni association if you graduated from college, they often have a ton of resources to help you find work!

My favorite is

JobDesert.com This site

JobDesert.com

This site is dedicated to all of those (including me) who are stuck in the deserted job market. JobDesert.com is not simply a forum, but a venting ground. Had a bad interview? Paid for higher education yet haven't had a payback? Dislike a company that treated you poorly in the interviewing process? Or have you just simply applied to hundreds of jobs and only heard back from one?....none?

JobDesert.com lets us all share our frustrations and just maybe we can change the way companies treat us.

I love Chris Brogan's blog for that. He has a lot of helpful tips and information on using the social web to find work. In fact, he created a free eBook by that exact title. Great resource.

I've had several friends find

I've had several friends find success by actually posting their job needs on Twitter. Some have found temporary work and some have found amazing jobs. Yay for social networking!

I like local searches, so

I like local searches, so things like http://www.npost.com or even your local CraigsList…

The usual suspects are always

The usual suspects are always great, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, WeFollow...

Recently tried out http://www.brazencareerist.com/ and would have to recommend it. Also, search out professional organizations both formal and informal social networks build around a common interest. These are huge for photographers, social media workers and many other niches.

Why not beg for a GoogleWave invitation and find a wave based around your expertise? What better way to build connections with new people than through a live stream of information from other users just like you?!

I've always found college and

I've always found college and university job boards to be fruitful on the hiring side of the equation. Most colleges allow Alumni to use these resources and many colleges publish them openly to the public.

On the searching side: network, network, network - it might suck but in today's tough market who you know really counts.

For those of you interested

For those of you interested in working with start ups, I would highly recommend the following site for a comprehensive list of financially backed opportunities on the rise...

I like lifeaftercollege.org - it's a helpful resource that gives advice on careers and more!!

Dice.com doesn't seem to be

Dice.com doesn't seem to be in your system - Dice is the number 1 source for tech jobs - I've used them a number of times to find work in my industry over the years. One of the best experiences of my professional career came through Dice. Of course, nothing beats finding companies in your niche, researching them then calling them directly even if they don't list job openings - this has worked twice for me in big payoff ways - neither was hiring at the time of my contact but was "about to".

I have found www.indeed.com

I have found www.indeed.com is the best at searching company & job sites

Identify the handful of companies you would want to work for, then get researching them inside and out to know where they are headed, what their needs are and where you may fit into that plan. Then deliver that message to them through all of your communications.

I dont have a site in

I dont have a site in particular but the 'resource' itself would be RSS feeds for jobs. More and more companies allow you to use an RSS feed to see newly added job openings. This way, you dont have to worry that you missed an opportunity: they come to you.
