How can I effectively job search without having to do it via the internet?
Q. I saw a job search advice tips article an one of the things it warned about was that you can't really effectively search for work online all the time. IT seems however, that all of the job listings are online. How do I go about finding ones available without being stuck behind my computer?

A. The old fashion ways, asking everyone you know to let you know if they hear of openings. Going door to door applying even if they don't have a help wanted sign. Using temp agencies where the job may turn to permanent. Starting your own business to make your own job.
