Most people my age (teens-early 20's) look at those websites as just something to do for fun, not as a possible opportunity. This should be something that all social networkers should be aware of and keep their pages clean and polished at all times, just in case an opportunity presents itself.

For some reason, a lot of people fail to use twitter, facebook Craig's List and other social networks to help with their quest for employment. There is always someone out there looking for that perfect candidate for their open positions. You usually get the best positions by being in the right place at the right time.

I still think there is a place for a good paper resume. The job search process is certainly one that is time consuming, but there are many many resources out there to use which were covered in Chapter 8 of the CDF course, which was a great chapter for me.

Networking is key to finding a job - we all know that. Not to say that the "old way" of sending resumes is not the way to go nowadays, BUT - it really isn't - and certainly not the only way. All the ways mentioned in the article from facebooking - twittering - it's all in who you know and timing is everything! Wow! So true! Networking is key to finding a job - we all know that. Not to say that the “old way” of sending resumes is not the way to go nowadays, BUT - it really isn’t - and certainly not the only way.

More and more young adults, such as those in the youth program I manage, must understand the seriousness of presenting themselves over cyberspace in a positive manner. There are a plethora of stories out noting where academically astute high school students applying to colleges are turned down for admittance or scholarships due to what negative content is found on their MySpace, or other social networking site pages. The same ofcourse now is also true in the employment sector. As the article states, this is an awesome means of selling yourself to perspective employers, but you could also completely hinder the process if you aren't presenting yourself in the best possible light.
