This can include your MySpace, Facebook and other social media websites. Some companies may even go as far as declining a job because of their stated political beliefs.

I would love to connect with you outside of the blog so that we could chat more extensively. Send me an email if you want: danieljohnsonjr at gmail dot com.<BR/><BR/>The biggest thing I can recommend to you here is to tap into your network of friends, family, former colleagues, instructors, etc.<BR/><BR/>Sign up for a LinkedIn account and a JibberJobber account (see the buttons in the sidebar).Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385541919985570300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662029.post-89467816480827103322007-06-02T15:20:00.000-04:002007-06-02T15:20:00.000-04:00Hey Dan, First off, let me say that your blog i...Hey Dan,<BR/><BR/> First off, let me say that your blog is a great resource for all job-seekers such as myself. I am actually moving to Cincinnati, OH in mid-August/Sept and I'm looking for a Finance-related job. Unfortunately, as per your post, I've seen that finance jobs have slowed down in the Cincy area...and after searching on several job boards, I definitely agree. Any suggestions on any other measures I can take to ensure I get a job by t hen? Any placement/staffing agencies you would personally recommend? It's a lot harder for me since I'm an entry-level financial analyst but I have 1 year work experience in consulting. Thanks for any help/advice you can provide!<BR/><BR/>- AaronUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17441107163796613445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662029.post-15962490066801183562007-05-30T16:26:00.000-04:002007-05-30T16:26:00.000-04:00Rachel,Thanks for the comment.

I'm a strong believer in personal branding, so that folks can be proactive about what gets returned in search engines.<BR/><BR/>For example, I like that, aside from a Canadian politician, the top results when Googling "Daniel Johnson, Jr." are related to me.<BR/><BR/>Please keep in touch!Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18385541919985570300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662029.post-65435799057034759172007-05-30T16:09:00.000-04:002007-05-30T16:09:00.000-04:00This is an interesting idea.
