In this part . . .

Use Twitter like a pro, becoming one of many successful job seekers forging new professional relationships on the web’s most popular real-time open network.

Remember that Facebook is for more than keeping up with friends and family — it’s a powerful job-hunting tool. Chances are you use Facebook already, but with some slight changes in approach, you’ll find yourself getting referred into the best jobs you didn’t even know existed.

Branch out beyond the main social-networking players. If you’re a creative professional or looking for a non-U.S.-based job, try out some of these other networks. They may not be as big as Facebook or LinkedIn, but they are certainly more focused.
