Two weeks! I've been out of work for two weeks! This is surelly the longest vocation I've ever had

Bad thing is that I don't have any more job interviews lined up right now. Well.. Gotta hit Careerbuilder...

You can always do what I did, worked both times for me. Print out about 50 resumes, go through the Yellowpages and find companies, make a cover letter that you can easily just copy/paste the name of each company into, print out some envelopes, get some stamps and mail away.

I did something for the cover letter like:

Blah blah <insert company name> would be a great place to work. I believe <insert company name> would offer me the ability to grow professionally blah blah. Blah blah blah.

You get the point, just use the company name in each to personalize it and make it not feel like just another form letter. I spent about $40 per mailing, only got one call from each but I landed both jobs. $40 for a new job isn't so bad.
