My plan has always been (before I started applying for tenure track positions, before I learned I'd jobless at the end of June), if I had not secured a position by the end of the workshop, I'd start looking at industry. The main reason was because of the different timeframes involved: colleges are really slow, businesses are much faster.
I'd broken the rule for a national lab job, because these things are rare and who knows what the hell their monetary situation will be like next week.
So, I started by sending out my resume to the companies I'd targeted eleven years ago when I went to grad school. I've also looked at some places in town, because I'd like to avoid moving if at all possible. That should be another advantage to industry, on top of a reasonable salary instead of a five-figure pittance.
One place I've applied talks about opportunities in its "Science and Technological Development" center. The webpage title is as interesting as it sounds: "STD Opportunities!"
With an advertisements like that, I don't see who wouldn't apply.
