Get Out of Your Home and NETWORK (or Stay In and Use Technology)

Guest columnist for the Star Ledger, Lee Miller informs readers of the new ways to make future employment connections. Linked-in and Facebook are great ways to make connections and reinforce previous relationships. Another great networking site is coworkers.com which allows you to rate your coworkers' performance, analyze your ratings and improve your skills. This is a great site for people who are already in the business world.

Facebook and Twitter are great networking tools for people of all ages. It is suggested that people make two facebooks: one for personal relations and one for work relations. This way, future employers won't see those pics from your birthday in Vegas. For Twitter, it is recommended by author, Susan Britton Whitcomb, that you choose your identity wisely, shoot for a 75% to 25% professional tweet rate, be visible, and be worthy of a following.

We network everyday, yet it seems to be a difficult task. When looking for your next job just remember, Sit back, Relax, and Tweet!
