So many job seekers are simply uncomfortable with the 'marketing' aspects of job search (love the language, "resume bling!"). Initial discomfort can be overcome with time, and with practice. Simply put, once a job seeker tries the suggestions you've made, the fantastic results will tame all fears. ~Jacqui Barbara,

Wish networking didn't have the "brown nosing" or "using people" reputation. That attitude is so destructive and makes a job search much more difficult than it needs to be. Great post!

I especially like your points on networking--and the value of relationship building without "brown nosing." One of my favorite sayings is "it's not who knows you that counts, it is who knows you back." I think it's important to take that same approach in online networking: after all, which is more important: how many friends you have or how many friends you have that are willing to vouch for you? Thanks for your great insight. I may share this with my MeetUp group as well. All the Best, Chandlee Barb,

I was only chatting with a client the other day who said "How many coffees do you have to have with decision makers before they give you a job?" Somehow I don't think he really grasped the point of networking and seemed to want to put it down to job offers by the gallon!
