I'd recommend acquiring a free email account specifically for this purpose rather than an email address provided by your ISP. I'm using an ISP provided email address and it occurred afterwards to me that I am now really tied to my ISP as long as I'm searching for employment. If I would have used a gmail account, that is transportable, no matter of the ISP I use.
CareerBuilder.com is great. Check your state government's website, usually they have a website for job searches. In many cases they aggregate from other websites, newspapers and corporate listings. If you're looking for something other than entry level, set up a profile on LinkedIn and begin adding contacts. Even if you aren't looking today, do that and add as many people going forward as you can. You'll always be connected with them via LinkedIn even if they change jobs. You'll have a very effective online network to rely upon when you look for a job the next time.
Be very suspicious of anyone that wants money from you to help you get job, for any reason. I've had 3 instances in the past month of that. One was blatant. Also be very suspicious of offers that are too good to be true. They are. I received an email this past week from a company based in Moscow to be their US representative. Just 3-5 hours a week. I'm pretty sure its some sort of money laundering.
I spend a lot of time researching jobs I apply to. Research during the week and apply on Monday. You'll soon find out that only a very small percentage will contact you. But don't get discouraged. You have to keep it up. Its a numbers game. The more you do, the better your chances are of getting a response.
