			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve responded to all the job ads and you&#8217;re networking like crazy. What else can you do?</p>
<p>Here are eight ways to get the word out and find new opportunities:</p>
<p><strong>Add a signature line to your outgoing email messages. <span style="font-weight:normal;">R</span></strong>emind your friends and contacts that you&#8217;re still looking and what you&#8217;re after.</p>
<p><strong>Include your LinkedIn profile URL to your email signature</strong><strong>. </strong>Add this (<a href="www.linkedin.com/in/davidsiecker">www.linkedin.com/in/davidsiecker</a>) to the signature line &#8211; make it easy for people to check out your credentials.</p>
<p><strong>Use Twitter to broadcast your progress</strong>. A daily (or even more frequent) <a href="explore.twitter.com/davidsiecker">Twitter</a> &#8216;tweet&#8217; from you keeps you well-wishers abreast of your latest job-search happenings. If you tweet to say &#8220;Got an interview at COMPANY HERE tomorrow morning,&#8221; then your friends with friends at THAT COMPANY can jump into the scene and help you out with a side-door connection or referral. BTW, it also updates automatically in Facebook too.</p>
<p><strong>Make your Facebook page work for you &#8212; not against you</strong>. Smart job-seekers fill their <a href="www.facebook.com/people/David_Siecker/784975313">Facebook</a> pages with useful and relevant information about what they&#8217;ve accomplished and define your strengths.  And take down the party pictures before your prospective employers see them.</p>
<p><strong>Add a specific quote praising your work to your resume</strong>. Include a short quote (&lt;20 words) from a boss who praised your work and put it at the end.</p>
<p><strong>Buy mini-Moo cards</strong>. These are great conversation starters and they can be easliy be given away in social settings because they&#8217;re small and attention-grabbing. If want to stand out a little, order your mini-Moo cards online at <a href="moo.com">moo.com</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Add a voice on your job-search profile </strong>by adding an audio file to your LinkedIn, Facebook or other social-networking profile to help job-search targets and influencers get a feel for who you are and how you think. Buy an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Koss-sb45-SB-45-Communication-Stereophones/dp/B00081A2CW/ref=pd_bbs_6?ie=UTF8&amp;s=electronics&amp;qid=1230579774&amp;sr=8-6">inexpensive headset</a> and use <a href="audacity.sourceforge.net">Audacity</a> for free to make high-quality audio files.</p>
<p><strong>Humanize your resume<span style="font-weight:normal;"> by d</span></strong>eleting the empty corporate language out of your resume and give it a human voice. Replace the &#8220;results-oriented professional&#8221; with &#8220;I love to solve sticky problems that slow down product development&#8221; or other human-like statements that describes you.  Write in more of a conversation tone. Maybe consider recording yourself as if in a interview and transcribe it.</p>
<p>What else has worked for you?  Write below in the comments.</p>
