    Creating a personal brand really is crucial. Using the internet and social networking websites is a great way for anyone, especially entry level professionals to get a head start on their careers.

    OneCubicle.com allows students like myself to brand myself online, network with like-minded professionals and recruiters, while also searching for jobs. It seems to be a hybrid between LinkedIn and FaceBook. I really recommend this social networking tool for students and professionals to have an edge over their competition.
