When you sit down at your computer to start your search, where are the first 3 places you go and what do you search for? Is it job specific? Industry specific? Job hunting techniques?
I'm a little stuck and want to know what YOU do, not what I should do. Thanks!

I check my local sites:
Minnesota Job force site (my county)
A weekly newspaper put out in my county
The Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Those are the first three, but then I check local city government sites (I'm trying to find a clerical job in government, which offers decent pay and benefits.)
I am the last person to offer you any tips or techniques. I've been searching for a job since early December and though I've applied for nearly forty jobs, I've only had a handful of interviews and received numerous rejections. Most places haven't ever even notified me one way or the other, rejection or anything. I'm very frustrated.
I hope you have better luck.

I used to go to Craigslist.org, Monster.com, Hotjob.com and my local paper. There's a great site called indeed.com that does a google search in your area in all the job postings that are available. I have keyword searches set up that look for the keywords I'm interested in. I have them set up pretty generally so I get more than I'm qualified for, but I look through them all.

I am in Australia and I use www.seek.com.au
I am well into my career and look in IT adn then at job specific roles but when I was younger I had trouble working out what sort of job I wanted.
Weekend newspapers were a good start but the best thing was talking to people in their mid-thirties (like me now) who had good experience and advice.
The big trick is to know what you want to do with your career. Sometimes it's hard to know what jobs fit our desires.
