College Jobs
Just graduated prob going to get married soon and my girl friend has a good job in the area so I am trying to find a job around where we live but I don’t know where to start to look for a local entry job, everything that seems to advertise locally is for horly or part time work and everything entry gives me grad jobs is from half way round the country

If the usual job websites aren’t giving you any good ideas, how about trying a headhunter / employment agency? They usually have connections, interview you to determine fit and then shop your resume around with those employers.
You could also search for any medium to large sized companies in your area, and apply for jobs on their websites. The company that I work at accepts resumes on-line, and they are indeed considered for any relevant open roles.
Sometimes word of mouth works as well. So, for example, if you target a small accounting firm or medical office, phone them and say that you’re looking for full time work, even if they don’t have a role, sometimes they may be able to refer you to a colleague who has an opening.
It’s a tough job market, so I wish you all the best. Good luck!!
