Default Hunting for CFI job

So it sucks big time when my originally lined up CFI job is not going to happen because the school I am training out of is facing major budget cutbacks by the associated university.
This means, come May I have all my CFI certs, a worthless degree, enough hours to kill myself, and like many... no job. Originally, I wanted to stay with a larger, preferably part 141 school, as a flight instructor because the flight instructors are just that - more of a flight instructor and less a ground instructor. However, at this point I will take anything, anywhere so long as it gets me a modest amount of hours and puts a roof over the head. Food on the table at this point is optional.
So I guess I am not so much looking WHERE there are jobs, but HOW to get jobs. How do you find flight schools that are hiring/have openings. Once you find one, who do you talk with?
Thanks all.
