Top 10 Social Sites for Finding a Job

PEOPLE

mashable.com/2009/02/24/top-10-social-sites-for-finding-a-job/

From Dan Schwabel of Mashable: Some of these sites allow you to craft a resume, while others are networking platforms that contain job listings. By signing up for all ten, you increase your chances of getting a job and decrease the amount of time you’ll spend searching for a new one. Three of the listed sites can be combined with other sites to be more impactful. In addition to joining, creating profiles and searching for jobs, I encourage you to support these sites with either a traditional website or blog, so that you have more to present to employers, in addition to your profile.
