If you're in the San Francisco dot-bomb blast zone, <A HREF="http://www.craigslist.org/" TITLE="craigslist.org">Craigslist</a craigslist.org> remains one of the best sources of jobs, housing, personals, and, um, <A HREF="http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/" TITLE="craigslist.org">BoCL</a craigslist.org> resources anywhere. No guarantees, but it appears to be the preferred contact point for both lookers and seekers. A large portion of postings are direct-from-employer, rather than recruiter listings, a big plus over other boards.
Craigslist has expanded beyond SF -- it's pretty big in NYC and LA, less so in other area, but check out the <A HREF="http://www.craigslist.org/about/cities.html" TITLE="craigslist.org">regional Craigslists</a craigslist.org> as well. International too<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
No association on my part. Happy user, and <A HREF="http://www.cnewmark.com/" TITLE="cnewmark.com">Craig Newmark</a cnewmark.com> is an all-around cool dude. The site itself is very much community oriented, an exemplar of the best of the Web.
...and you've heard it a gazillion times: don't overlook good old-fashioned networking. Friends. Family. Past gigs. Getting out and about in your community. Get off your "good intentions" (as NPR calls 'em), paste a smile on your face, and meet people in real life.
