Where do fresh out-of school Physics Ph.D.s look for jobs?

I know I sound retarded for a Ph.D. with this kind of question, but... help? Please? Where do I start? I would rather go to industry than academia. My current research subject is very narrow (solids at ultra low temperature; experimentalist not theorist) and looking at general websites like yahoo.jobs or monster.com had no result so far - nothing looks like I'd be a good fit. Career fairs bring no results either. I'm supposed to graduate in 6 months and I'm starting to panic.
