I just came across an excellent blog post for using Linked-In (the Facebook for work) to help you find a construction related job.

Carol’s Construction Technology Blog walks you through the process of getting found by those likely to hire. If you’re looking for a job or considering that possibility (which includes most people in the construction industry these days), you should be on Linked-In. After you’re signed up, send me a friend request and you’ll be able to see what someone else’s profile looks like.

Then take some time to learn how the profiles work and how you want to present yourself to the world of shoppers. It’s an audacious new world out there and you need to be making yourself a bit uncomfortable to be succeeding.
