Print up copies of your resume and any letters of recommendation you may have, go to places you want to work, and give them a hard copy. It's harder for people to ignore you if you're standing right in front of them.

Also, you should volunteer while you're unemployed. Even just a few hours a week will give you something to do, an opportunity to meet people (who might know of jobs), and give you an answer when the interviewer says 'What have you done since losing your job?'

I've been in your position before and it is incredibly difficult to find work right now. But networking and talking to people make it a little easier.

Noooo nobody does hard-copy resumes/in-person applications anymore. It will make the OP stand out, but in a very bad way.

Depends on the area/OP's sector. This is still the easiest way to get a job in the blue-collar sector.

That is literally how I got my first job out of college. I passed out copies of my resume, got a call a few days later for an interview, and had a job not long after. Smaller organizations and businesses need people who are willing to put themselves forward and do what they have to do.

People have also connected with me via Linkedin after I did that. So I was able to network that way too.
