Step 1 You must invest a great deal of time in creating a resume and cover letter that will not only impress the hiring manager with your skills but will immediately indicate your superb skills and employment objectives.  Hiring managers often go through hundreds of resumes to fill a particular position.  If you don't stand out or have key words that become immediately apparent, they may pass you over.  Even if you are the best candidate.  You also should take the time to tailor your resume to each job which you apply for.  The links I have provided will help you do this.  Don't skip this step as it is probably the most important.  It may decrease your search time tremendously.

SmartJobGuides.com  Job guides give you valuable information about resume writing. 

1 Day Resume  This is a very good and fast resume service.

Careerassist  Very thorough and comprehensive.

Jobclincher Complete resume service.

Step 2 Once you have created the perfect resume and cover letter you need to get it out there.  Go fishing so to speak.  Put your resume on as many job boards as possible.  I have listed the best.  Try to find industry specific sites as well.  Also, you must track everything which you do.  Create a spreadsheet that list all of the job sites you have posted your resume to.  This spreadsheet must all list the passwords for each site and the date you last refreshed the resume.  It is very important to refresh the resume at least once every two weeks if not more frequently.  This will put you at the top of search results.  This spreadsheet should also contain a summary of all the companies which you have applied to with dates and the job description.  "Organization is the key to success".

Step 3 Use at least one resume broadcasting service.  These services are excellent in the current economy.  This is because they send your resume directly to the hiring managers.  I hate to say it but a lot of times hiring managers get lazy.  Why would they go to a job board to search for a candidate when they could just check their e-mail and internal databases.  These services are very good for visibility and getting your resume directly into the people that will use it.  Please use at least one of these services.  I would recommend more than one though.  Some these services will also post your resume to several job boards all at one too!! I have linked to some of the best for you.

Step 4  Now that you are highly visible and available for employers to contact you, it is your turn.  Use the links I have provided to search for jobs according your specifications.  Send your perfect cover letter and resume.  Tell them you are the candidate they are looking for and why.
