Social media tools and web sites provide the job seeker with opportunities and virtual connections which have not existed before. My first exposure into social media was with Twitter.com … I have been Tweeting since 2008. I have used Linkedin for a number of years and recently added many more contacts and group connections.

I started this Job Searchers blog in early 2009 to capture elements of the social media movement specific to the job search process. In addition to benefiting me, with my job searching via the through these networking tools, I am hopeful that my visitors will also benefit from what I have learned while looking for work.

You will see items about the job search, references to fellow jobseekers I am meeting on line, useful tools I’m learning in the process, and the ties to social media. Look for the social media theme throughout this site.

I have over 15 years of experience in IT / Human Resources. I provide a link between technology and clients by way of translation of business process into understandable terms through best practices consulting. I have an MBA from Golden Gate University in San Francisco.

In addition to the information presented here, I have two other websites that I want to share with you:
