Job search thru online?
(OP)
Aside from career builders and monster job search where do you search for finding a job?
I like to search directly to GC or Consulting Firm website but i have no luck finding list of GC and Consulting Firm website here in New York.
Also, if you have agency that looking for a job (HVAC), I would appreciate if you can share me some link too.
Thank you.

If you can pull it off networking will most likely be quicker, my colleague who got laid off a week already has at least two possibilites through this.
KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?

I don't return Aerotek's calls anymore. Too many low-dollar warm-body shoehorn placements.

It had a list with websites and other contact information of a lot of MEP engineering firms in the US.
I got several interviews from this endevour.
Also try local ASHRAE chapters. I used ASPE and got a few contacts that way.
I personally didnt mind Aerotek too much - but found they mostly placed contract and contract to hire. I had a wife and kids at the time and did not want to make a move of family on a possible full term job.

Here in Wisconsin if you want to receive your unemployment check you need to do searches on their site, and receive e-mails with employer updates, to prove that you are actually searching for a job. I assume that it is free for the employer.
Here is what Wisconsin has https://jobcenterofwisconsin.com/
I too am working with a recruiter from Aerotek. It looks like they will be able to place me in a great job, but I am not very impressed with the recruiters that I am working with, they seem very ignorant.

I hope the account manager is more intelligent than the recruiters that I am working with over there. They seem to be either just out of high school, or just out of college. I am sure that I intimidated them a bit when I knew more about the potential employer than they did.
The one bad thing about getting a permanent job thru a place like that is the employer pays a hefty commission to them if you get placed, around 20% of your first years salary, so obviously you need to be worth the money.
It doesn't surprise me at all that a recruiter from Aerotek thought that LaCrosse was commuting distance from Sheboygan - Heck some people in California commute 4 hours each way ... don't they?

I've had some success with craigslist.org. Mostly smaller companies that don't scan for buzz words from resumes and cover letters.

Other than various forms of spamming, you have to do everything you can to get your name out there.
... not just in front of the decision makers, but in front of the retained recruiters.
You don't call them; they call you.
...but they have to find you first.
I don't think they bother with Monster or CareerBuilder anymore; some haystacks are just too big. Right now, they seem to very active in LinkedIn. That could change next week; it's just the way the world works today.

LinkedIn
Various job search engines
Professional Placement Agencies
All of these can prove useful in finding a new position. I have found jobs through both posted advertisements and through word of mouth. Some companies are now contracting their technical recruiting (and perhaps all professional recruiting) to outside contractors so it does not hurt to get your name in with several of them as well.
