You have to network with friends, family, former colleagues, coaches, pastors, etc. I mean you have to let everyone know you are looking and dont be shy about asking folks to recommend you to others. Hiring is not done blindly, most hiring managers depend on referrals and trust of their business partners, colleagues, friends, etc. I suggest going out and setting up profiles on these sites. http://www.linkedin.com http://www.facebook.com good luck to you

Good to hear. You might want to have your resume professionally done as well. Dont forget cover letters also.
October 29, 200817 yr Author 44 out now and I will admit I am worried and scared that this might last a lot longer then I thought it would.
October 29, 200817 yr Statistics show 4-6 months to get a new job. Sorry, I know you didnt want to hear that and hoping you reduce this statistic.

October 30, 200817 yr Author I have put two more out today(49) I am going to try and put another one out later. The last time I was laid off I had 55 out before I got a job and it came from outside of the 55 resumes I had out.
October 31, 200817 yr I wouldn't worry about the number (quantity) as much as who they are going to and how they look. Are each of them accompanied by a cover letter? Keep your head up, there are still a lot of companies hiring and looking for good quality people.

Keep your head up, there are still a lot of companies hiring and looking for good quality people. The sites I am using (for the most part) does not have a cover letter attachment on them. I am having a new one made with a cover letter attached. I am now up to 54 and all 54 places were/are hiring when I put them in.
