Finding a new job advice needed please.

[towernick]

Hello ladies and gentleman, I am in dire need of a new job. The one I have, which I used to love has now taken a turn for the worse, and I fear the old axe might drop soon. I work for a major insurance company on the financial side of retirement markets. I am 24 and simply have not been through a job market like the one we have now. I was hoping to get some advice from people who may have gone through a job market similar to this in the past or who have had recent success. I live in Los Angeles so anyone either in LA or another big city who can offer advice or point me in the right direction, that would be great. Thank you in advance, I really appreciate it.
