Where to look for jobs offline?

[beer]

Where can a student look for summer jobs offline? I've about exhausting the thousands of online listings for my area, and only have less than a dozen actual jobs that I would be suited for and the chance of me getting hired for one is slim to none.

I'm looking for an IT job, I have two and a half summers' experience with NT and 2000, I know a lot about networking concepts (from general OSI model stuff to LAN/WAN design to specific things like interdomain and intradomain routing protocols, etc. etc.). I'm fairly proficient with PC hardware and generally have good social skills. And a year of C++ under my belt, with a good understanding of most basic data structures.

What I don't have is a specific knowledge on any one protocol or algorithm, or experience programming win32.

I have been looking for an IT job myself but since am not 18 until June I haven't been able to get any tech jobs.I have been working in Best Buy retail for 7 months though I hate it I keep the job because the money is useful for my upgrades and such.Man I should save up for a car but I blow my cash in pc parts heh.

EDD is the employment development department.Fancy word for unemployment office,should be able to find one in the phone book.

OK, that is the kind of place I don't think would have many IT jobs, some targeted for students. I know that layoffs are on the rise but it seems that unemployment offices would have more listings towards laborers and wage-earners than skilled IT guys.

Unless I am wrong.

I would say check out your local EDD office, it can't hurt to try, right? Just how badly do you want a new IT job.

Or check with your college.
