Were you recently laid off from work? If so, you may want to jump right back in and find a job. Good for you, but where should you look? If it has been ten or more years since your last job search and interview, you may not know.

So, where should you look for a new job after a layoff?

Your Newspaper Unemployment Section

Most newspapers have a classified section. In that classified section, you will find another section for employment. It is here where you will find open position locally. In addition to daily newspapers, be sure to check your weekly classified newspaper. Some companies prefer to advertise in this instead, as it is cheaper. You must act fast when taking this approach. It is how most people find and apply for jobs.

Job Search Websites

Job search websites come in different formats. You will find generalized websites and those that target certain industries. For the best chance of success, visit them all. Perform a standard internet search with the phrase “job search.” You will find Monster.com, HotJobs.Yahoo.com, CareerBuilder.com, and more. Different websites have different job listings, so search them all. Also, look for a resume listing service. If you can list your resume on these websites for free, do it! Not all companies post job listings. Instead, some prefer to browse resumes themselves to find qualified candidates.
