Social Media and Old School Networking: http://thecynicalgirl.com/old-school-networking-still-works/
A pet peeve of mine is when someone will say, "You can't apply online, you have to get out there and network." It's not that I disagree - I don't. What I hate is that this person doesn't give real world direction on what networking MEANS.
For too many people, "networking" means going to a business association luncheon and talking to people. The problems - doesn't give you any additional experience, is a horrible experience for anyone that's shy, and really doesn't do more than give you a small possibility of face time with someone that could hire you.
The examples here - more likely to lead to a job. Period. So, get out there and network.
