The best source for job opportunities - especially in a slow economy with high unemployment - is through a personal contact or reference. Make sure to contact all your friends, acquaintances, and relatives to let them know that you are looking; then ask them for referrals and make sure they are willing to be your reference with opportunities they recommend. If a referral gets you an interview, make sure to thank the referrer in writing. also remember that your circle of friends and acquaintances have their own circle: often, good leads come from these secondary contacts.
In addition, job boards can sometimes lead to good opportunities - for part-time and consulting gigs, CraigsList.org seems to work well for some people.
