Folks,
I forgot to mention before - whatever your locality, there is sure to be
a workforce development board you can contact.
Our local one in brevard county, fl, offers lots of free services to
both employer and jobseeker.
I actually hired someone through Brevard Workforce on an OJT contract -
they will subsidize a part of his salary for the first few months, until
he is fully trained up.
As a jobseeker, I imagine the agency would help with resumes, mock
interviews, prescreening, etc.

I found my new job by posting my resume on dice and monster and a
recruiter called me for a position in the city. I was amazed at how
much demand there is for good IT workers... it's a pretty good market
right now, IMHO. Apparantly it's tough to find good IT folks. In this
area however (i.e. mid-hudson-valley) you're probably better off going
with the social networking channels and foaf networks. linked in
certainly doesnt hurt. I'd use every resource available and see what
you get

I have been working at the same company for 12+ years and well it's
been a
long time.
What is the current way to find a job aka get hired? Not that I need
to find
a new job, but a friend in FL was notified that all his work is moving
overseas.
He laughed at the idea of social networks when I suggested he get on
Linkedin and set off to crank out more paper resumes to send to job
listings
on creagslist.
Thought this was a tad bit old fashion, am I correct? What is the best
advise to give? Is Linkedin the new resume?
