Is this site becoming nothing more than the "anything but employment sites" blog? Using Twitter to find work doesn't seem to be the most efficient way in which to go about it. If this were 1980 (prior to the Internet when daily papers ruled with the Sunday employment section), Cheezhead (assuming it had a column back then), would probably be advising it's readers to use the Yellow pages to search for jobs - or the CB radio - "hey good buddy, got a job for me?" More often than not, the articles posted on this site don't seem practical in today's world. Perhaps Twitter, mobile devices, social networking sites will evolve and help job seekers find employment at some point, but right now, today, that isn't the best approach - and the objective research/stats prove this. But I guess when it comes to this blog site, vapor-technology rules. Really? Is this site becoming nothing more than the “anything but employment sites” blog?
