If you haven't gotten a LinkedIn account yet, you are missing out. LinkedIn is basically the Facebook for business networking. You set up your profile, listing out your previous job experience (basically your resume), and then you connect with all your current and previous business colleagues. This is THE BEST way to network when looking for a job because not only can you see all your business colleagues, but you can see all of THEIR business colleagues. So, if you want to work for "ABC Company", you may have a colleague or a colleague of a colleague that works there who can push you through the clutter. I actually got my current job this way. I currently have 125 connections on LinkedIn, but my extended network is almost 2,000! That's the power of LinkedIn!
