So, let me expand on the steps outlined above.
1) Set yourself up on Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, and two local job boards. Here is the concept behind Monster and the other job hunting boards: They attract job hunters so there is a large pool of people looking for work. Employers pay the owners of the job board a fee to search the pool for employees. Your goal is for an employer to see your resume, contact you for an interview, and hire you!
Employers also post jobs on the boards and you can apply for these individually using the resumes that you can post on the site. We will discuss this in more detail later. At this stage, you want to get your resume up so it can be searched by the employers.
Copyright 2016, by Patrick Taylor Page 21 of 47 http://www.GetaGreatJobFast.com I have had the best fortune with Monster.com. CareerBuilder is okay too, but they seem to be more interested in selling you stuff like upgrades (which are a waste of money in my opinion) and advertising from their partners. However, CareerBuilder seems to be more "all source." They are connected to many local job boards. So, I suggest that you sign up for both and take the time to set up your profile on both boards.
These seem to be the two major boards. I worked for a company that searched dozens of job boards and aggregated the information into their own system for review, but everyone gets the information from these boards so you want to at least be registered on Monster and CareerBuilder.
You want to review your own resume against job postings that employers place on the boards to insure you're using the keywords employers are using to attract employees. Then, you want to go to Google and type in "Jobs in (your city)". Check out whatever Google returns in the first two spots in the natural search listing (that is the first two listings after the paid, or sponsored, results). These would be the most relevant websites to your search. Maybe they are the classified ads for a local newspaper or some other independent job board. It may be advantageous to register with them too. The registration process should be similar to what you've already experienced on Monster and CB so it should be a relatively simple exercise.
Now you have the job boards working for you 24/7. This is a passive method, but it can be effective.
