Top Tips for Pumping Up Your Job Search Results by Joan Runnheim Olson - Dec, 2011 1. Network, Network, Network!!! Up to 80% of jobs are found through networking. In addition to face-to-face networking (the most powerful) be sure to add social media networking to your list. 2. Treat your job search like a job.

3 Reasons Why Social Media Guru's Can't Help You Find a Job by Joshua Waldman - Dec, 2011 If you are big into personal effectiveness then you are familiar with Steven Covey’s 2nd Habit: Begin With the End in Mind.
