Thank you for this insight. I do have Linkedin on my resume, because I do have recommendations, which I started asking for a year ago, when the economy started flattening out. My position was eliminated in August, and I'm so glad I have those recommendations, because they truly speak to who I am and what I can bring to an organization.

I only use Twitter to promote non-profit organizations I belong to, and events for them. I do not use twitter for anything else. I'm not into discussing anything else except positive items for others and quotes to better us all.

Sorry to be negative, but I don't think these suggestions help to the required level of where the modern job search is. When surveys show the 70% of recruiters now use Social Media to check job applicants after sift but before the telephone interview, to think that they may tap in your LinkedIn or Twitter address versus a straight, quick, get everything GoogleCV search and see what comes up is naive. Each piece of information in a CV/resume takes up space, and therefore has to be considered. Adding your Twitter profile when your name may be RubberDuck69 is as daft and terminal to your job search as having an adult orientated eMail address: and as a recruiter, I see one of those weekly! Plus, what comes through the stream of twet's: do I really want to know what you thought of the football score and the under performing linebacker, or would your politics put me off? LinkedIn included at maximum, but self-Googling and learning what the recruiter/employer will find, and then managing that would be better. Good Luck! Rgds, Ian R McAllister

Nice, Deb, but I would add one word of caution… If your LinkedIn connections include colleagues with similar credentials and experience and you have not done an adequate job of communicating your unique value proposition, beware that a prospective employer may contact one of them for the job you wanted.

Hi Deb:

Everything you tell us is right, but we have not to forget, everything we post out there (e.g. facebook) may be found, specially by job recruiters. Not to include a facebook link in the resume is a good idea, not to post inconvenient data (photos, ideas) is a better one.

Great article! I was fired from my last job for not making quota the last 6 months, even though I was over quota the last 4 years.

And for the last 4 months, I got interviews, but no hire. And it was getting to the point where I spent half the interview explaining why I couldn't reach sales goals and why I was fired.

I gave up and decided to outsource my job references. I just by-passed the whole g*damn ordeal. I got hired 3 weeks later.
