  Using Social Media for the Most Effective Job Search
  
  How many "channels" are you using to get that next job? If you're only responding to posted job ads by sending out a résumé and then hoping to get a call or an interview, you can do a lot more to take control of your search and make it more effective. Join us on Thursday, March 22, from noon to 1 p.m. CST, for the next in the ALA JobLIST Placement Center's popular Online Career Chat series. We'll focus on social media tools and other strategies that every savvy job seeker needs to know about-and use-to increase their network, find out about new opportunities, and promote themselves and their skills to potential employers.
