*facepalm* Making decisions is hard and I feel like a moron.

So three not-getting-me-a-new-job interviews later, I've decided I need to take a different and additional path to getting a new job besides "ask everyone you know if they know of opportunities and network madly" and "apply for every job you come across on Craigslist" and "put your resume all of the places

I can't really speak to many of the options, but I can speak a little to option 8 (and hopefully I won't sound condescending or be telling you what you already know). I would explore your low or no cost options for counseling first. I second thegelf's suggestion for trying your alumni network, and I would also look into the Minnesota Workforce Center. I met with a counselor there when I was unemployed and it was free, though her advice was a little hit or miss (yes for the resources for finding academic positions, no for thinking "work at an independent bookstore" = "start my own business"). They also have plenty of literature there, and (I think) might offer aptitude tests, that sort of thing.
The public library has also offered workshops for job seekers in the past, so you might look into that (check the "events" page on line ). These resources will be very general, but even very general information might help you narrow down your options a bit more. At the very least, if you then decide to go to a paid counselor, you'll probably have a better idea what to ask them, and may even find out where to look for one.
Good luck! (I hate making decisions myself.)
