How do you job search in this modern world?

I went and bought a Sunday paper last Sunday just to look at the want ads. There where no job posted in the newspaper.

I even started driving to companies and asking for a job application. Some have still have paper applications (I'm thankful for) and some don't.

I don't know how to search or appliy for jobs the modern way.

The last time I had to search for a job was over 20 years ago. The world has changed without me.

Go to your local unemployment office. Fuck, 51-55 and you don't know how to look for work, pathetic 🙄

I been self employed as a farmer and last company I worked for extra income. I found the job in the newspaper.

I always looked for work in the newspaper. Just like they showed us back in highschool. The newspaper was the way to find a job.

The closest unemployment office to me is 22 miles away. I live in the Middle of nowhere on a farm.
