HBR Series offers good advice for Job Seekers

I meet with a lot of job seekers in my role and I like to share tips that make them more viable as candidates. The Harvard Business Review has been running a series of articles for the last month or so that really is must read material for anyone in the job market. The series, titled "The New Rules For Getting A Job", touches on everything from how to best utilize your online job search, technological know-how as a job requirement, using social media effectively, how to find a job when you are no longer "young" (whatever that means...), and lots more.

Even for folks not actively searching for their next job I'd recommend perusing some of the articles because if you are not keeping up on trends you're falling behind. The old notion of ramping up an effective job or career search only when you need to is rapidly becoming passe, as one of the HBR articles makes clear: "It's Not a Job Search, It's a Permanent Campaign".
