While your waiting for a J O B be humble and mow the lawn
If you believe you are too qualified to work manual labor then you have too much ego and not enough desire to work.
Dont be afraid to earn a minimal income and the base to build equity live on less than you earn and invest the profit in YOU and your skills get a name for yourself and grow.
as low as stock prices are now and even with small income you can do dollar cost averageing investing (keep good books) and as the maket recovers you will too.
if you do this you have better chances of surviing and building your personal wealth under a less burdensome tax structure. and should your Garage Band become the new Beatles or someone discover your Artistic tallent and offer you a million for that Painting you made in your "starving artist days" or you Program finaly get past all its glitches and become the next Operating system of 99% computers of the world you didnt starve and waste time spinning your wheels trying to find some one that trusts YOU enough to Let you do it for thier company so they keep your incresse (license fees for your "baby" brain work)
Untill you Get your J O B use 2/3 effort to get a job and 1/3 making lunch money er Expences so you dont get desperate and do Nothing.

You just always assume...
These people are idiots to hire this way. They just assume that everybody has a computer in their home and cell phone in their pocket. I don't have either. I can't afford either nor do I really want either. So that immediately makes me worthless in the eyes of employers. Thanks folks, for ignoring a good chunk of your potential employee pool - just because you've gone and wanted to read blogs instead of applications.

SAS Analyst/Programmer
I have over 10 years of experience in using SAS/STAT software to analyze data and interpret the results.
I've received several projects and even more proposals just by having a LinkedIn profile and lots of real connections with people I've worked with. I'm a Brand Strategist with significant experience in New Products, Positioning, M&A, and Sustainability Marketing.
Here's my LinkedIn profile:

LinkedIn as a Recruiting Tool
LinkedIn has quickly become a predominate recruiting tool for the staffing world. I use it every day in my role as a senior recruiter for a major corporation.
The Linkedin profile is a great marketing tool previously unavailable to the individual unless they were able to make a significant investment in the hiring of an "agent" or "image maker". It can greatly support and enhance the recruiting process.
As a professional, I would be remiss if I didn't have a resume on hand while evaluating a candidate as this is a foundational document in the building of a potentially long term relationship with an employer. The LinkedIn profile cannot replace it; however, combined, they are excellent tools from which to work and I greatly appreciate having both.

Separation of Work and Tweet
Sure this makes sense for social media type positions, but what about those who use social media for the *social* aspect? I do alot of hiring, and I'd rather not have unsolicited application requests come through on [for instance] twitter. It would make that outlet seem more like work.

web 2.0 hiring
Finding a new hire is hard enough. Why not make it easier for both parties to find and hire the right person. Great thoughts Aaron!
