The 2010 Personal Avatar Size Reference Guide for 20 Top Social Networks

How to decide what size your personal avatar image should be on your favorite social networks. What you need to know before spreading your avatar In my 2009 Personal Avatar Size Reference Guide, I gave some rules to keep in mind when choosing an image size for your avatar. This year I'm going to keep things even simpler.

Goodbye Gatekeepers: Use Social Media To Target Hiring Managers

Use social media to directly reach the people who will want to hire you most. This is a guest post by Peggy McKee. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Today’s job search is unlike any you’ve ever seen before. In addition to the recession-fueled glut of workers, the explosion of web-based job searches and online social networking has turned the process into something entirely new. That has resulted in candidates who previously, would have flooded the market with resumes, gotten several responses, a few interviews, and a couple of job offers, but now face online job applications that thousands of others have seen, too.
