Comments on: REVIEW of Chris Brogan’s FREE E-book: Using the Social Web to Find Work http://careerenlightenment.net/social-media-tips/chris-brogan-free-e-book-using-the-social-web-to-find-work YOUR Career: Powered by Social Media Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:51:29 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Sean Harry http://careerenlightenment.net/social-media-tips/chris-brogan-free-e-book-using-the-social-web-to-find-work/comment-page-1#comment-117 Sean Harry Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:50:35 +0000 http://careerenlightenment.net/?p=1267#comment-117 Thanks for sharing this great resource, Joshua. I'm heading over to Chris' website to download the eBook and pass it along! I do have a bit of a different take on LinkedIn, however. I have a personal rule that I will not connect with anyone on LinkedIn unless I have had a significant conversation with them. Otherwise, what makes LinkedIn any different than the phone book? Many people ask me to introduce them to one of my contacts. If I don't know that person I can't really make a warm introduction. If I can't make a warm introduction, then what's the use. I understand that a lot of people will connect with anyone, but my philosophy and practice are a bit more "discreet" than that. Sean Thanks for sharing this great resource, Joshua.

I found your comment re Craigslist particularly interesting. It never occurred to me that the time window would be so short, but it stands to reason, as anybody who has posted in the free section of Craigslist could tell you. Do you by any chance know how near real time the Craigslist RSS feed runs? You could rig the RSS to a cell phone and instantly send in your resume when the ad is posted. .-= Mike Stankavich´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/MikeStankavich/~3/YJ_4-cVD1lw/" rel="nofollow">How to Securely Access Your Home or Small Biz Network From Anywhere in the World (Part 1)</a> =-.
