If you're having trouble finding a job, maybe it's time to refresh and restart your search strategy. Here are some great places to get started on your new job hunt. Most of these can lead to some actual job prospects, and even a long-term career in your dream profession:

1. Review options through Indeed.com. This is an aggregator job site that pulls all current jobs from multiple job search engines. It includes Craigslist, Careerbuilder, Yahoo! Hot Jobs, and other networks. You just type in the keywords in the search box, including your city and state, and a comprehensive list pops up.
2. Set up your profile and current resume on Careerbuilder.com and Monster.com. Here you can look at current job postings, and also make a decision to make your resume available to potential employers.
3. Review Craigslist. Craigslist has become more and more valuable over the recent year with real, legitimate job opportunities. If your city is listed, be sure to take a look at the current postings in each category on a regular basis. You'll simply need to e-mail these potential employers with your cover letter, resume, and contact information for further consideration.
4. Review GoogleBase; you can search by type of position and location easily on Google Base, and it often provides a direct link to the posting and the employer
5. Just-Posted.com is a valuable search engine that lets you sort through job listings by keyword, location, and relevancy
6. Work.com is a great place to start looking for long-term career options at different corporate sites. The postings that often appear on company sites are easily accessible in one place.

These are just six ways to jumpstart your job hunt; making sure you have an attractive and well-formatted resume is part of the process. First impressions always count, and your resume and overall presentation may have a strong impact on your hiring process. Jumping on the web to start your search is a valuable way to review current job openings and options in your area, field, and profession.

Good luck on your job hunt!
