One man posted hundreds of flyers on lampposts about his job search.
The good news: this got him a job.
The bad news: he also got a $120 fine. (He plans to fight the citation.)

Noted:
If your industry has a local, state or national organization, part of networking is showing up. You might even consider volunteering for a committee.

Want to deduct job searching expenses on your federal income tax form? It's not the easiest thing in the world but it's possible.
