The internet has a critical role in your job search.  It’s much more than just posting a resume on a job board and hoping for the best.  The use of social media is alomst expected these days when looking for a job.  And, with the fierce competition out there, you will want to use any tool you can to get your name out there. 

Share your knowledge and expertise with a world that is looking for what you have to offer.  

• Start a blog that highlights your expertise.  One of my clients is an expert on professional sports clothing and uniforms.  He has created a blog and now has a following.
• You can also create a twitter feed or establish a podcast channel to interest others in the industry. 
• Comment on other blogs and chat rooms.  Use google blog search to find the blogs you are interested in. 

Facebook and Linked In are great tools as well.  You can look for jobs posted on them, search for people to network with or join a group.  It’s all out there waiting for you to use them.

As always, make sure your facebook, my space and Linked in profiles are clean and informative.  Potential employers will be checking you out.
