Fredric MD boy is correct.
I finally learned some tactics that helped in my job search and allowed me to keep sane:
The search can't all be online. For your own sanity (if for no other reason) get out and use the resources that can be provided by public libraries, networking groups and very importantly your unemployment office.
Devote a certain amount of time each day for your search. Do it in an organized manner, send cover letters with each resume, tailor your resume to the job and keep track of the jobs you applied for. Also search at sites that pull in the jobs from several different search engines like at Indeed.com
Something I didn't do that I wish I had is to spend time each day exercising. In many places, the YMCA or YWCA will give you a discounted membership while you are unemployed.
If you have a lack of marketable skills and are young enough, it would be worth your time to look into the Job Corps.
Best of luck,
Michael

i agree with W.B. But, if you have to job hunt today, places like kmart, walmart, are open and so are fast food places and the mall. If you are looking for a "career" job position, you HAVE to wait til tomorrow. Or look online at hotjobs.com or something like that.

Write a good resume
Tell everybody you know what you are looking for (networking)
Look for job postings on the internet
