    Thank you Mario and Lady CeeGee for reaching out to us, and allowing us to share with your listeners some of our job hunting strategies for the 2.0 job market!

    I wanted to share a few more tips that we couldn't squeeze in on-the-air:

    ► There are a lot of Career Network type groups throughout the country. They're usually free to attend regardless of church membership, religious affiliation, or any other qualifiers. A search on Google or LinkedIn usually shows a bunch of them. I'll be adding a list of them to my website, but here's one group's website that should give people a head start… http://www.crossroadscareer.org

    ► A great resource I highly recommend is “Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters 2.0″ book, available at neighborhood libraries, bookstores, or here… http://www.robmendez.com/guerrilla-marketing.html

    ► I welcome anyone who wants to connect with me on LinkedIn. By inviting me to connect, they'll automatically get at least 4,500+ connections in their 2nd degree and 1,300,000+ connections in their 3rd degree. Click here to connect… http://linkto.robmendez.com

    ► Check out my website for more up-to-date strategies, including my “Linked to Conquer” formula, blog, and resources… http://www.robmendez.com

    Lastly, just because we're off-the-air doesn't mean the show has to stop! I'm going to give one lucky person a Job Hunter 2.0 Makeover. Jump over to my website for the details… http://www.robmendez.com/1/post/2010/07/the-mar…

    I'll check back often and welcome any comments or questions I can help answer! :-)
