We all know that any lead helps with this economy. Online job boards are full of job seekers who are really looking. But I read on a site about how social media has helped job seekers find jobs. There are many job related twitter accounts and also other karma related job seekers helping other job seekers accounts there as well. So if you found a lead or helped someone else find a lead using social media, please share your story.

A few months ago, one of my colleagues from California tweeted about how he was looking for a web designer for a new site he was launching. I quickly told my friend who happens to be a freelance designer in NY and introduced the two parties via LinkedIn. My friend was hired for the project and they are both living happily ever after.

But on a more serious note, I had the misfortune of being unemployed in 2008 and a lot of the people I met through a job search group at our local Dept of Labor office were still relying only on job boards and agencies. I am still in contact with many of them and quite a few have been expanding their search to Linkedin, Facebook and Ning and they have gotten some good leads.

The recruiting and job search process is changing. You can't stand out with words on a piece of paper anymore. You need more resources, a better network and extra energy.
