I think that this not only applies to searching for jobs, but also to getting the skills needed way before the search begins. Your advice about becoming "computer savvy" is excellent. Most jobs, even jobs at fast food restaurants require some knowledge of technology -- however little. But if you're aiming a bit higher, there is no doubt that you will need computer skills. There are several ways to get the computer skills needed to operate basic computer programs such as Word and Excel, as well as email and the Internet. You can take a class at a local community college less than $100; you can take a class at your local learning center, in many cases for less that $100 per class; if you're a senior, your local senior center will typically offer 4-8 week computer classes starting at around $50, or you can take a computer class at your local library for free! Just contact your local library and ask if/when they offer computer classes and sign up right away. Slots tend to fill up very quickly. Good Luck!

If you are posted all over the job boards, there is less of a chance a recruiter will work with you because you are overexposed. So keep those job board posts anonymous!
