The New York Times posted a really good article on the way we search now. See it here.
Major tips:
Skip the monster job boards like, well, Monster.com. Focus on LinkedIn.
Use your daytime hours for face-to-face meetings.
Keep your online presence professional.
Linkedin was one of just 3 new job sites added to the About.com Top 10 Employment site list. The 3 new sites are:
http://www.linkedin.com (professional networking)
http://www.indeed.com (aggregated listings)
http://www.realmatch.com (matches to jobs based on skills)
