The best social sites for finding a job, via the Godfather o

Published:  Feb 27, 2009

Yesterday I brought you (and myself, mostly) up to speed on Dan Schawbel's Personal Branding Blog. Since I seem to have become a major proponent of social networking sites as job search tools, I felt like I should pass along Dan's guest-post on Mashable from a few days ago. In it, he sets forth a detailed list of his Top 10 social sites for finding a job. Some are very familiar (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), others are a bit outside the mainstream (VisualCV, Ecademy), and while I wouldn't say I was at all surprised to see Craigslist on there, I feel like I tend to overlook the popular search site as a great job resource. I guess that's why Schawbel is the godfather and I'm just a squirrel, tryin to get a nut.  Here's how his list shakes out:

  1. LinkedIn
  2. Plaxo with Simply Hired
  3. Twitter with blog or LinkedIn URL
  4. Jobster
  5. Facebook
  6. Craigslist
  7. MyWorkster with Indeed
  8. VisualCV
  9. JobFox
  10. Ecademy
