Getting noticed is the key to getting work of any kind. And these days, with fewer jobs and more ways to promote yourself, simply answering ads and sending in resumes is a sure way to get stuck on the sidelines.
So get out there and start tweeting, following, posting and making a name for yourself in cyberspace. It might feel like you’re splashing around, shouting “Look at me!” and in a way you are, but remember the one essential rubric for successful social networking – give away before you try to get.
Follow and read blogs from people working in the fields which interest you. Make comments on their posts. Answer questions and make connections. You’ll start to feel more comfortable in this world.
