Are job search engines such as monstercom or careerbuildercom the best way to find jobs

How else would I find a job or get a company to hire me? Im graduating from college in May, and Ive used monster some but so far I havent heard anything.
      Answer1:Depends on the college. If you graduated from a 4 year college then try temp agencies to gain some experience. If all you have is an Associates degree then try Craigslist. Networking also is the best way in this tough economy. Good luck.
      Answer2:Take advantage of all search engine options. They are the primary source of opportunities. Make sure your resume is sharp. Get it professionally done. And make sure your resume is not private on these search engines. Employers will shop through the public resumes. Networking is an important tool when seeking a position. Since you are just graduating you dont have a lot of people to draw from but your family may know someone in your field who knows of positions you might be just right for. Do you have friends in college who know people in your field they could introduce you to? Networking is about using friends, family, co-workers, or previous employers to get ins into your career choice. You can also be pro-active and go direct to a business. Find out who the person in charge of hiring your particular position is ahead of time and send a cover letter and resume to them. There just might be a position available or coming up. Jobs are tough right now with many people applying so dont get discouraged.
