I am in search of a new job. I drive more than 300 miles a week to the one I have currently.I need something much closer to my daughter's elementary school. I've checked websites and newspapers, but can't seem to come up with anything. What are some other effective ways to job search?

The best job locator is friends and contacts. Whatever your field, search around to see if any other parents in the elementary school work in the same one... or a friend of a friend has one. It might take lots of lunches to have a good relationship for an 'opening'
The regular (monster, dice, careerbuilder) all are better than nothing... but there is NOTHING better than a personal contact.
i know your agony... i'm over 500 miles a week

Alot depends on what type of job you are looking for. How much $ you need. You should go into businesses and ask if they are accepting applications. Be sure to dress as though you were interviewing, first impressions mean alot! Most jobs vacancies are never in the paper. Most Websites are old want ads. Remember, by living closer to home you will not have the expenses that you now have. So, you will be able to start at a lessor salary. You might try your local school district, banks and other business in your area. Good Luck and God Bless.

If you can hang in there a little longer, Networking is a great way to earn money working from your own home as your own boss. Ever heard of Robert Kiyosaki Rich Dad Poor Dad? He has another book called "The Business School" and he talks a lot about network marketing strategies and getting on the right side of the cash flow quadrant. That's what I did when I started my own business at http://www.bedavis1.mywayout.net/ that is a new division of a billion-dollar international company that is listed on the New York Stock exchange. If you have a big enough dream, you can achieve anything :)
Good luck on your endeavor!

Try this as this is for people that are serious and who don’t want to be misled as we have tried many things and have found a company that has been around for 21 Years and pays you to advertise for them. My wife and I just started and are doing well. It is not an MLM company and no selling, no deliveries or stocking product. My wife’s aunt has been working with this Company (Melaleuca) for a little over 3 years and home schools 3 kids and makes $9,000 a month. It is a 500 Inc company and the CEO is on the U.S. Chamber of commerce board. I can arrange a web cast with my wife’s aunt for you and you can decide by yourself and WE WILL help you be successful. It is an honest Win Win.
If you want to see a web cast (presentation) from your home let me know and I will arrange it as that truly is the way to see all about Melaleuca. Have you heard of it. We have just gotten started with my wife's aunts help as it is a team effort and it is fun. Just a quick F.Y.I. 8 out of 10 people that see the web cast join the company and 95% of the people that join re-order product each and every month. Let me know when you are ready and we will set up the web cast.

Thanks,

If you can't even tell the difference between a statement and a question, I wouldn't hire you.
You are a dumbhead? Yeecccchhhhh I'm so sick of people putting question marks at the end of statements and thinking that turns it into a question???? Ye Gaaads quit it.
