You all know that networking is an important part of your job-search portfolio of strategies, right? A friend of a friend knows about a job that hasn't been advertised--or it has been advertised, but not in a place you're looking--or your roommate's mother's sister's step-nephew.... Well, the list of combinations is endless.

In fact, you can network in the amount of time it takes you to read this suggestion and the related link. Today's link suggests using Twitter to cultivate a network of folks who may help you advance your career.
