What are the best ways to search for a seasonal or year-round job in the Taos, NM area?

I'm planning to travel to New Mexico to look for a seasonal / temporary job prior to deciding whether to move there long-term. I've never been to Taos, but I was thinking that the ski resort and other local businesses in the area must hire extra people for the ski season. I found several websites that provide listings for seasonal & permanent jobs, but I was wondering whether anybody has any suggestions before I begin the time consuming task of applying for numerous jobs through multiple sites. As a little background info, I have 20+ years of experience primarily in human resources management and employee relations for large, internationally known hotel and cruise line companies, as well as sales & customer service experience. BA degree. I welcome all suggestions, especially from anyone who currently lives in the Taos area, or has lived there previously.

1. I can understand your desire to live in the Taos area but, honestly, jobs aren't that easy to get there and your costs in lodging and food might be disproportionate to what you're earning. I have had friends live in the area but, if you have found websites and are determined to try it then by all means... I wish you luck! You might consider looking at the Ruidoso, New Mexico area. They have a ski season, too, but a broader economic base which makes it easier to find jobs and the housing is not as expensive.
