Some of these should do you good. Dice is great for contract work.

Also indeed.com, which looks as an aggregation site/search for jobs. Tends to miss some things, but is pretty nifty. Craigslist is also a fairly good resource for random programming gigs if you're looking for something on the side while going to school.

Don't waste your time on job search engines. I wasted 2 years after graduation looking for jobs through mostly through indeed.com, dice.com, etc. I ended up with very few responses and no interviews. Didn't know better back then and I've learned from it.

I got offers and invitation for interviews after I got fed up with that BS and started applying directly through the career section of companies. Landed my first post-college job at a top defense company in a few weeks of applying.

If you are unwilling to relocate, Craigslist is your best shot for local programming jobs. And if you are still a student, you can try a summer internship outside of your area.

That's odd. I just landed a job (indirectly) via Dice. Though to be fair I'm not just out of college anymore.

Yes, direct application is a good approach and should not be neglected in favor of a place like dice (though indeed does a fair job of finding things on large corporate career pages).
