I integrated a number of helpful career search related links to this post to make the job search process easier for you.
Job search engine sites: These websites are extremely effective because they allow you to search multiple job databases and professional associations through their search engines! You can access millions of jobs across the web. Please check to see if you are able to post your resume on these sites as well.

General web boards: Although these sites are losing popularity with most employers and recruiters visiting these sites to search for jobs and to post your resume to them is still a really good idea. Keep in mind you are searching only one database of jobs at a time. As mentioned above, job search engine sites are awesome because you search multiple databases simultaneously.

Colleges: Go to your college website and most times you will be able to search for jobs or post your information to an alumni list. Also try calling your previous professors to see if they have heard about job leads from employers or recruiters. To find a college website Google offers a cool tool - http://www.google.com/options/universities.html.
Google Blog Search: Recruiters will post jobs on blogs or network on them thus it is a good idea from my perspective to go to this site and search. For example if you are searching for an accounting position you might type "accountant job."

Google Blogger: This is nifty because you can create your own blog. Let everyone know you are looking for jobs or post your resume.

Professional & social networking: There are many sites on the internet today that allow you to network with professionals. Networking is the key to finding jobs. It’s who you know. Create complete profiles on these respective websites and make them public so employers or recruiters can find you. You are able to search for jobs through many of these sites too. Make sure to add people to your professional networks. The more the merrier.

External Recruiters: There are a ton of Recruiters out there. Some of them are credible and some are not. Your best bet is to go through national recruitment associations and search through their member directories.

Major search engines: There are literally hundreds of search engines and new ones appear almost weekly if not daily. These 4 search engines are most helpful because of their ability to conduct refined searches, their size and ability to search in specific areas or fields of documents. Use these search engines to find jobs by typing in the position title and location for example.
