Answer 1

go ahead and post your resume on monster.com, as a new graduate be sure to list your volunteer work, and any life experiences that relate to the type of work that you are applying for..
also any job is better than no job. you can always use the job you are offered as a starting point, and with an open mind, you can gain experience and learn new skill, while honing your present skills.

Answer 2

Hi,

The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.

Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don't need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.

Check your local paper -- In many cases the paper's classified are now online.

Search Smart Online -- If you don't have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.

Organization -- I use a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com and it has been very useful to me, please go and check it out!

Good Luck,

Karen
