I’ve thought of co-branding my spouse and myself as a Team, standing on a street corner with a sign – mom with 3 kids needs job, sending photos of the kids with resume to kid focused companies using their products, just hitting as many companies as possible with my resume – carrying job search business cards and handing those out wherever I go to anybody who would be willing to assist me in networking…..your ideas??? I know I’m getting a bit off the wall here – but I’m just brainstorming and need to pick the best ideas…..I need a job fast – quite desperate in fact.

Depending on the kind of work you do, the Internet offers lots of career advice and lots of jobwebsites as well. One such site is http://www.about.com (once on click on “Careers” under Employment (I think). Also, if you are a waitress as an example, you can go to any search engine like http://www.google.com or http://www.jux2.com or http://www.dogpile.com and type in “waitress employment” and you’ll get some good sites. Also, try the biggies as far as jobbanks like http://www.monster.com and http://www.careerbuilder.com.
P.S. Even though you may BE desperate, do everything you can NOT to appear desperate during the interview
I hope this helps…
