Tips for Job Searching Entry Level
-
Only respond to job postings if you actually know the company.
Don't foolishly click on links, provide passport information, or send money to job offers. Ever.
Use reputable sites such as LinkedIn.com
-
Internet Job Posting sites, such as LinkedIn are much more readily available than a news paper. Especially in the US.
Newspapers may still be common practice, but you lack the ability to do any investigative searching of the potential employer from a Newspaper.
-
One thing that is tricky is that each country or at least small regions are unique in how jobs are found. This varies by country, region, language and company type.
-
In the US, for example, entry level positions cannot be filled from overseas. This is often the case in big countries as there are laws for hiring available US resources for those positions and only advanced positions may be filled from overseas.
-
For larger companies, which are the ones generally able to sponsor the necessary work visas, you can often apply to them directly through their websites. Get a well polished resume / CV ready and submit to many companies. This is the best place to start.

There are standard websites for looking for jobs, and even these tend to be filled with fake jobs, like Monster, Dice, LinkedIn, CareerBuilding (is that one still around), ServerFault, etc. These are a good place to start too.

You could start cheap, do entry level server support. Work your way up with reputation, focus on some specific skills (maybe learn Nginx really well and do a lot of that.) Not going to get you rich, but it might earn you enough to make doing an entry level job not make sense.

Having just lived in Panamá there is a lot of opportunity in places like this as the amount of local IT is very small. Don't limit yourself to looking at big markets like the US, Canada and UK because places like Panamá have much easier visa requirements AND paths to citizenship in many cases.
