			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Recently I have been learning more about job search advice. I have just finished up my own job search and I will be starting work next week at the New Israel Fund. I have increasingly found <a href="http://twitter.com">Twitter</a> to be a great source of articles and tips for job searchers and I thought I&#8217;d share some of the links I have found there.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wisebread.com/lost-my-job-tips-for-the-recently-laid-off">Help &#8211; I Lost My Job!</a> &#8211; a collection of 27 articles from the Wise Bread Blog for people who have just been laid off though there is a lot for anyone starting a job search in there as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://mashable.com/2008/12/16/find-jobs/">CAREER TOOLBOX: 100+ Places to Find Jobs</a> is a list of resources from Mashable with useful categories for recent grads, blogging jobs, and industry specific areas.</p>
<p><a href="http://howtosplitanatom.com/news/finding-jobs-online/">33 Ways To Find A Job Online</a> &#8211; a bit to extensive for me, though worth looking through. Keep in mind though that 80% of jobs are found through <em>offline</em> networking efforts.</p>
<p><a class="post" rel="bookmark" href="http://jobmob.co.il/blog/35-job-fair-success-dos-and-donts/">35+ Job Fair Success Do’s and Don’ts</a> &#8211; I found Job Fairs to be motivating more than anything else. Even if you don&#8217;t come away with a job you want to apply for, you get a sense for what&#8217;s out there and a lot of practice presenting yourself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/21/jobs/21career.html?_r=3&amp;ref=todayspaper"> You May Not Like It, but Learn to Network</a> &#8211; New York Times piece on the cold necessity of networking.</p>
<p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/OnCampus/story?id=6444613&amp;page=1">10 Easy Ways to Find a Job During Winter Break</a> &#8211; This piece from the new column of one of my favorite job search authors, Lindsey Pollack, will make sure you put the time off from school to good use.</p>
<h3>Social Networking Resources</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/free-ebook-using-the-social-web-to-find-work/">Free eBook- Using the Social Web to Find Work</a> &#8211; Chris Brogan shares salient thoughts for job searches from his blog. Nice free download.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.twitip.com/leverage-twitter-for-your-job-search/">Leverage Twitter for Your Job Search</a> &#8211; Darren Rowse focuses on job searchers on his new blog Twitip. Be sure to check this one out if you&#8217;re new to Twitter as his blog is full of great Twitter resources.</p>
<p><a href="http://jobsearch.about.com/b/2008/12/12/using-linkedin-when-youre-unemployed.htm">How to Use LinkedIn When You&#8217;re Unemployed</a> &#8211; Alison Doyle shares the goods on this essential social network for job searchers and really everyone in today&#8217;s transient workforce.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><a href="http://www.quintcareers.com/Job_Action_Day/2008.html"><img class="alignright" style="margin: 2px;" title="Job Action Day" src="http://www.quintcareers.com/JobActionDay160.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="178" /></a>In honor of <a title="job action day" href="http://www.quintcareers.com/Job_Action_Day/2008.html" target="_self">Job Action Day</a>, I want to share some job search related tips that I have found helpful.</p>
<p><a title="quint careers" href="http://www.quintcareers.com/Job_Action_Day/2008.html" target="_self">Quintessential Careers</a> invited a host of job bloggers to participate in the event by sharing a post with actionable items people can take. They describe the sentiment of the day as follows.</p>
<blockquote>
<h4><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica; color: black;">&#8220;Job Action Day 2008 is all about facing the realities of the global  economic meltdown and taking action steps to protect your job, build your career.&#8221;</span></h4>
</blockquote>
<p><a title="lindsey is awesome!" href="http://lindseypollak.com/blog/?p=505" target="_self">Lindsey Pollak&#8217;s entry</a> discusses 5 immediate steps for job hunters to take. As always she has a ton to share. She also has an easy to read run-down of <a href="http://lindseypollak.com/blog/?p=504" target="_self">all the posters for the day</a>.</p>
<p>Two other jobby posts that I&#8217;ve enjoyed recently include <a title="Resume 2.0" href="http://veryofficialblog.com/2008/10/08/six-steps-to-resume-20/" target="_self">Shannon Paul&#8217;s post</a> on making a resume shine with Web2.0 goodness and <a href="http://havefundogood.blogspot.com/2008/10/ask-britt-5-tips-for-job-seekers.html">Britt Bravo&#8217;s 5 tips for job seekers.</a></p>
<p>Also: I&#8217;m aware that the site doesn&#8217;t display in Internet Explorer (working on it, but get in touch if you think you can help!)</p>
