Job Hunting Tips?

[ncpenn]

If I was in your shoes, I'd start looking for a job in ways that didn't involve the normal way of applications, HR, call-backs, etc. It's obviously not working (and it doesn't work for most everyone else either).

If I were in your shoes, I'd check out Unlock The Hidden Job Market or Cracking The Hidden Job Market from the library (both books are similar in content) and start applying what they say and teach. It's often about who you know, and those texts will show you how to put that power to use even if you don't know anyone right now and are turned off (and rightly so), by the idea of cold calling for jobs.
