Employed or unemployed it doesn’t really matter. Social media can help someone network with a wide array of people, while also helping an already employed person network enough to advance further in the job world.  Some say it’s as easy as putting yourself out there, but I disagree.

Sure anyone can go sign up for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. but until you really put the time and effort into social media you won’t be getting much in return. Now of course I’m sure there are those of you who got extremely lucky the minute you graduated or had some awesome connection, but not all of us are that lucky when it comes to finding work. With the current state of the US economy, we really have to work hard to land the job we truly want. It’s a competitive world.

So how can you mold your social networks to benefit you and your job search? Well first start my making sure all your information is up to date. Make your contact information visible. List experience from the very least to the most similar to the job you’re wanting. Even if  

How do you get a foot in the job world’s door? Are there certain websites you must keep up with on a daily basis to get your big break? Well, I think it’s safe to say no two people read the exact same websites everyday. Personally, I learn a few new websites every time I talk with my friends.

And most recently I found out about a website called “www.onedayonejob.com ”.  This website is the insider’s guide to unique and exciting entry-level job opportunities for recent college graduates. As most recent grads do, Willy Franzen graduated and realized how frustrating the job search can be and so that’s why he started One Day, One Job.

When you visit the site you can learn a lot about a wide variety of exciting companies and what they’re looking for in their new hires. You  

Social Media is everywhere.  In fact, it has been found that as you read this, 1.6 million people are checking Facebook, 32,000 people are watching a YouTube video, and 10, 400 tweets just went out via Twitter.  Crazy right?  So how does one use each medium effectively?

Two recent articles, one featuring Facebook, the other LinkedIn, discuss new features and suggestions that should help people successfully land jobs through the help of their sites

LinkedIn: LinkedIn to Help Recent Grads Find Jobs with New Feature

Who knew my monthly Cosmopolitan magazine would offer me some great career tips! After reading all about male arousal, I decided it’d be best to stop procrastinating and read an article by Arianna Huffington, co-founder of The Huffington Post on “Raising your Game”. She talks all about how to make yourself a top-notch hire. You must convince employers that you are an invaluable commodity. You have to put yourself above other people applying for the same job.

A new trend that is doing just that is people are putting their picture on their resume, this helps putting a face to a name. A good friend of mine, Marcus Hinkle seems to think his picture on his resume puts his a cut above the rest. It’s an instant cosmetic feature that  

Daylight Savings Time definitely caught me off guard this year. I enjoy the sun being up when I wake up but am not a big fan of the darkness around 5/6 o’clock. And with the cold weather approaching, I could definitely use a vacation to a tropical location. But without a full-time job I don’t have much extra spending money. After all this is the worst financial crisis we’ve seen since the 1930’s, around the Great Depression. Almost every family I know  

Social Media is the talk everywhere: the talk of how to use it, how to promote oneself or ones business through it, and most importantly the talk of how to see results from it.  According to statistics, social media is used by about 65% of people aged 24-54 – an age group most prominent in the business world.  So how do people, i.e. business professionals, make a name for themselves in this new social media world – a question worth a million dollars right?

Splash Media, a Dallas, TX based business, is a front running company in Social Media Solutions.  The company offers a variety of services  

After watching numerous videos and reading several online reviews, I finally asked Zack if we could interview Jeff Hayzlett for our “5 Quick Questions Segment”.  Jeff is the former CMO of Kodak, a cowboy at heart, an avid Twitter user, and the “Chuck Norris of Marketing”.

In my opinion your LinkedIn picture makes your whole profile come to life. It’s all about putting a face to a name. Not so much about what you look like but this picture makes the first impression. And say you have a blind first meeting with a possible employer or a cold call to discuss a specific position,  

So have you ever been on a blind date? Well I just went on one a few weeks ago and decided to Google my date. I know I know, slightly creepy but I couldn’t resist the urge. With Google & Facebook it was kind of hard not to wonder what the guy looked like! And after the fact I learned he googled me as well. So HA we’re even!

Anyways there is this brilliant website called brand-yourself.com where you can help control what people see when they google your name. It’s pretty  

I’ve always wondered what letter grade a teacher would give me after reviewing my resume.  It is a document I have spent a lot of time and effort on perfecting, edit after edit.  That’s why the website, www.RezScore.com caught my eye!  RezScore.com is a free, instant and confidential review of one’s resume, complete with a stand-by expert, a three-page detailed report and the option to hire a professional to re-write your resume to A+ standards.  Obviously I had to check it out!

Drum roll please…
