Use LinkedIn for Job Searching

The world of job hunting is changing dramatically primarily because of social media. If you haven't been paying attention to social media, and particularly to LinkedIn, you have some catching up to do. You cannot afford to ignore LinkedIn today.
Many job seekers confuse the intelligent use of social media with a loss of privacy. This is a serious mistake.  LinkedIn is the preferred social network for recruiting.

Develop a Strategic Career Vision

If you’re like most people, you’ll change careers at least several times over the course of your life. Success in making transitions among careers can be partially attributed to career planning and preparation.

Job-seekers need to take the time to step way from the day-to-day work and spend quality time reflecting on career and developing plans for the future. Think of career planning as building bridges from your current job/career to your next job/career; without the bridge, you may easily stumble, but with the bridge there is safety and direction.
