SACRAMENTO, CA - On Friday's Live_Online at 11 a.m., we discussed the role social networking can play in your job search with Jeff Dunn, job recruiter and former president of the Sacramento Area Human Resources Association.

Dunn recommended Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook as some of the best places to network for a new job.

Social Media Networking

  • Manage your online brand and message; share useful information
  • Stay in touch every 3-4 weeks

Interviewing Tips

  • Prepare your key talking points
  • Memorize your success stories
  • Research the company
