1.) LinkedIn: Learn it, use it, and love it. It is the biggest and most usefull tool out there right now, and corporate recruiters are falling over themselves trying to integrate it into their own systems (via Workday, Oracle, etc.) Indeed.com is still ok, but a lot of the older sites have become trolling grounds for lower-tier recruiters.
2.) If it looks bad for your area: Walk (don't run) to the nearest exit. Seriously: There are lots of great opportunities out there right now, but it would be best to try and "beat the crowd" and get out before the wave of unemployed Target folks hit the streets.
3.)Forward any documentation you would like to use for references or work examples to your personal email. (Make sure you redact any reference to "Target" or other sensitive information.)
4.) Depending on your area of expertise, look at the more reputable recruiters: Baker Tilly, Robert Half, SALO, etc. Be open to perm and consulting gigs. (If you are a decent worker, you will have very little downtime between gigs.) Sure they get paid for placing you, but they have their own reputations to protect so they are a little more thorough. Avoid out-of-town recruiters: They truly are only interested in warm bodies they can throw somewhere.
5.) Keep calm and carry on: There is life outside of Spot's Kennel Club, and it is pretty sweet. Good luck!
