Job hunting--retro and new
Sometimes the old is new again. Newspaper ads (while we still have newspapers), signs in windows of stores…Don’t overlook those. One hotel chain even has a marquee that says Managers Needed.
Job fairs—been to one lately? I hear fewer companies want to come, but these do help you keep it local.
Join the chamber of commerce—go mix with people with businesses.
How about networking groups—they cost a lot, so ask around about them first.
One guy stands by the highway with his resume “bullets” on a sign. He wears a suit.
(He brought a chair in case he gets tired.)
Here are some more sites. You never know.

I wish I could give that highway guy a job. But I can hardly get in any work myself.
My kid—hurray!—did get one! Finally! See? Dreams can come true.
