Job Hunting with Today's Technology?

Today, there are many ways to sell your skills to employers. The obvious thing to do these days is to register and deposit your resume with a job-site, but that's not all! You can do much more to impress your future employers.

Social Networking Sites
List your job credentials on social networking sites e.g. Facebook and Linkedin. Most people we know already have a Facebook account including employers!

Video Resume
Thinking out of the box! Here's a good chance for you to express yourself and communicate your personality and creativity to employers. What you can do is record a video of yourself with a webcam and post it on sites e.g. Youtube. Check out some of the video resumes we found posted on Youtube.
