Your first step should be to make sure you have your resume updated and posted on some of the main job sites online. The ones below are 100% free and you can look for jobs there too:

Job.com - One of the top online job websites. Sign up for free, post your resume and start looking for jobs.

Monster.com – Another one of the largest job search websites. This is also free to submit your resume so that recruiters can find you. Also a very large data bank of job openings in all cities.

SnagAJob.com- This is a 100% free job portal for hourly and part time jobs. If that is the kind of job you are looking for, you need to have your resume in the SnagAJob database and this is where hourly type jobs are posted.

Being persistent and not giving up is the most important lost job advice you can get. Yes, things might look hopeless right now, but the harder you work at finding another job, the greater your chances will be. It might take you a while this time because of the economy to find a new job but you need to keep your spirits high.

While you will want to spend a large part of your free time looking for jobs, this is your chance to branch out and learn some new skills. The Internet has created many new online jobs and opportunities which are out there to be learned. There are many legitimate money making ideas online and while it may be difficult to distinguish between the scams and real opportunities at first, after you learn a few things you will see the real money making potential.

The Internet is worldwide now and it is a resource that you should learn to use. Company recruiters now do much of their recruiting online and you need to make sure you have a presence at all the main job web sites. Likewise, the Internet is being used by millions everyday to either make a living or to supplement one. Take this time when you don’t have a job to learn what you can do to add to your income via the online world. You may just find that you can turn it into your own full time job and never need another job interview again.
