I would recommend not relying on actual listings of jobs for which you have
the qualifications. *Most* job openings are *not* advertised. I got my first
job by sending three separate resumes and cover letters to the company I
really wanted to work for (in addition to many other resumes/applications).
My current job I got by responding to a newspaper ad, but the actual position
I got was actually higher than the one advertised (it had not yet been
advertised and they wanted to hire two of the candidates). I would suggest
perusing your newspaper for the names of companies - pharmaceutical, breweries
(QA/QC jobs), analytical labs, etc. Send them resumes and cover letters.
Remember to check out universities and national laboratories and federal
departments. Libraries have lists of local businesses. You may also want to
consider a temp agency (for lab personell) or a headhunter. Don't wait for a
potential employer to look for you, let him/her know you're out there. Good
luck, I know job searching can be very trying.
