Sure hope you find something soon. My daughter has been looking for 3 months.

Something I learned 2 years ago when searching for a job.....
The "head hunters" or recruiting firms really do not do a good job of promoting your individual resume. They are just trying to fill a job and earn a fee.

Your best leads will come from networking. Contact people you know in your filed and also the ones you know outside of it but are in contact with it.

If you have a networking group in your area, go and meet people.

The newspaper and Monster ads are usually screened by some one in HR that is looking for a few key words in a resume. If the key word are not there, yours is bypassed. You need an inside contact to get your resume in front of the right people.

Best of luck hunting...

Ken
