"The 3 big job search websites are careerbuilder.com, monster.com and hotjobs.com. All of them are pretty much the same as far as setting up your resume and looking for jobs. Careerbuilder.com is ranked as the number one career site these days, but with any of these sites it is easy to get lost in the shuffle since there are a lot of people accessing the sites and applying for jobs.
Another good place to look is craigslist. Job postings on this site are usually from smaller firms or companies since it is cheaper then what the big time sites charge. Also, with a smaller company you might have a better chance at finding an entry level job and also hearing back from a potential recruiter.
For example,more people are applying for jobs at Cisco through hotjobs.com on a daily basis then for little Joe Schmo ad agency that wants to hire an entry level person and is using craigslist. Also out here we have bayareajobs.com which just focuses on jobs in the bay area. Not sure if it is good or not, but if they have a similar site for Delaware or the surrounding area it might be worth checking out as well.
Since she is just starting out she should make sure she has a resume and a standard cover letter put together and then throw it out to as many companies that are looking to hire graphic designers. The more she sends out, the better chance she has of hearing back from a potential employer. Also, it's not uncommon for the recruiters to take their sweet time in responding, if they respond at all. She should check out the postings on a daily or every other day basis as well, as job postings are putted up on a regular basis. Let me know if this helps. -Joe" Mon, 9 Apr 2007

This blog documents my job search process. I find it to be analogous to being a game show contestant complete with decisions, excitement, guesswork, hoops to jump, games to play, gambles, disappointments, showcase showdowns, and $64,000 questions, etc.
