There is much free advice out there and I appreciate that kind of help but I also know that when I need a service that I tend to turn to people I have built a relationship of trust with and then I am happy to pay for their services. Trust takes time though. Thanks, Debbie, I agree that there is much to learn from the relationships we develop and it seems more every day.

I agree with you completely. I have been blogging for a couple years now and I have many "friends" on Twitter and Facebook. Some of them I have never met in person and probably never will. I have found help on my personal blog and the company blog I recently started because of these contacts. Many have helped me out at no charge and I know it is because we have created a personal relationship. I would not be as far as I am today in blogging or writing if it had not been for them. Even though I am no longer exploring freelance writing, I still cherish many of the contacts I made during those pursuits and keep those acquaintances close. In many of these incidents, it goes beyond the business connection into a more personal one. It's nice to have friends who will help you out and give you well wishes when things aren't going well. .-= Debbie Yost´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.thegrantcollc.com/blog/index.php/2010/03/01/forgiveness/" rel="nofollow">Forgiveness</a> =-.

It’s nice to have friends who will help you out and give you well wishes when things aren’t going well.

Many of us (career professionals) waffle about the LI profile on the resume but it seems it works for you! But you are totally right about the increased use of social media both to find job seekers and the usefulness for job seekers to learn more and connect more. Interesting strategy, Charles.

I have been told by numerous recruiters that they appreciate that my linkedin profile link is on my resume. As well, whenever I need to look up information such as a phone number or e-mail for a friend or acquaintance that I do not have on hand, facebook is the place I look first. When I am attempting to contact someone I have not talked to in years, I search facebook before google. The more you see the people around you using social media, the more you can bet employers are using it too. The power of social media should absolutely not be overlooked by jobseekers.
