Remember the days when Facebook was just for playing Werewolves vs. Vampires? Ummm...I mean....I don't either.

More news has emerged that it is important to maintain those LinkedIn sites in order to find a job. And Facebook is still emerging as more of a networking arena, rather than just a place to post those pictures of partying on spring break (is nothing sacred anymore?).

NPR has a great story on how technology is coming into play for job recruiters. Apparently, if you have been sending paper copies of your resume out -- STOP IMMEDIATELY! Instead, you may want to get in touch with everyone you know on LinkedIn and have them write a recommendation statement for you. Oh, and don't send unsolicited emails to busy execs.

Also, check out the New York Times piece on how a 54-year-old engineer got hired through Facebook.

And, if you've ever felt like you are sending your electronic resume into a great, dark abyss, read this article in The NY Times about why some job recruiters care about applicants, while others just don't.

Why don't you just try http://www.auditorcrossing.com/? I used it to find an administrative job to tide me over until I get out of grad school and it worked great. A lot of people asked me to use craig's list, but honestly, its more hassle than its worth. After tediously pointing and clicking your heart away at individual employers, you have to respond to them all. One at a TIME. It takes forever http://www.auditorcrossing.com/ allows you to make a resume and forward that to tons of employers. Its way better.

Still sending an email into cyberspace is like a big black hole. You hope somebody sees it, and you pray to get a response -- even a "no thanks."
