The "where" has to do with more than simple geography. It may include the types of knowledge one would expect to use in the job hunt, the people internal to the organization and those served by it, as well as the everyday working conditions. "Where" would also include the level or salary you would expect if you worked in this particular organization.

If you are using your skills in a job but you are still unhappy at work, chances are good that the problem lies with one of the aspects of "where." This could be particularly true of a lawyer who is unhappy with his or her position because it is a bad organizational "fit."

 
None of the process of the "what" or "where" of the job search will make sense if you do not set priorities—including determining your favorite skills and your ideal job setting. You are seeking to paint a picture for yourself of an ideal job. It is unlikely that you will find a position that includes every aspect of your ideal job; but if you cannot define your ideal position, you will have nothing with which to compare real opportunities and no way of making an accurate assessment.

Again, consider making a list or adding to the list you have already begun about your previous positions. Consider your last three or four jobs. How did the "where" impact your success in each? Write down two or three "where" factors that can help you with your decisions about the job search.
