	Where to Job Search
	Ads and Agencies: Investigate existing job openings. Answer ads in newspapers, trade and professional journals. Ads in classified advertising sections of newspapers quickly give you an idea of the types of jobs available. Networking: Use all contacts: former employers, recruiters, friends, professors, classmates. If possible, get introductions to potential employers. Attend professional and trade conferences to begin networking. Write to companies on your prospect list. Send an individually typed cover letter to a specific person within each company. State your reason for writing; mention a few of your credentials, and request an interview or appointment. State when you will telephone to confirm the appointment. Include a resume with your letter. Keep all leads going at once. Do not put off one lead until you hear from another. Use the Internet: While not designed to replace other means of looking for a job, the Internet can be a valuable tool in your job search. Sites such as Monster.com and Hotjobs.com allow you to post your resume on-line for employers to view, as well as search a database for existing openings across the country in the field or industry of your choice. This can be an especially useful means of conducting a long distance job search. However, nothing can replace personal contact, so as with all methods of locating potential employers, follow up is key! Click here for internet resources
