    Just curious if any of you had any tips for Job Hunting?

    Recently got laid off because our company was bought by a larger one and decided that our Dallas office was expendible.

    Anyway, I have been searching on Monster and Career Builder but haven't had much luck.

    Any general tips for job searching, I haven't done this in about 3 years so I figured I might as well ask.

    Find a recruiter (headhunter) that works to place people in your field.

    Done that, guess I'm just getting a bit impatient, just wanted to make sure that I was missing some kind of gold mine of oppurtunities

    Yes. Yes. Yes.

    You need to contact everyone you know and let them you are looking.
