Many new grads are leveraging social media to get a job...whether it is via Facebook or LinkedIn. (I vote for LinkedIn, it's more professional in nature.) What are you using--any social media tools? How have you used them? Just by searching for jobs or by forging connections?
Speaking of social media and job hunting, Steve Weber is giving away copies of his book Wired for Work: Get a Job FAST using LinkedIn, Facebook or Twitter.
To get your free signed copy of the paperback, you can send your postal address to weberbooks@gmail.com. Or you cancan download the ebook in Kindle, iPad, PDF and other formats at http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/11179.
Dan Finnigan of The Wall Street Journal also covered the concept of social network job hunting today. Read that article here.
In the meantime, I'd love to hear how you are using social media. It's a whole new concept for me--just 10 years ago when I graduated, none of it existed.

I totally agree.....LinkedIn is by far a superior site to FB & Twitter :)
Yeah esp for professional stuff. I use it solely for business!
