Remember when the Internet was the shiny new object that everyone simply had to get their hands on and use? New desktop and laptop computers were entering the market faster than you could blink, each with a new and improved set of features and functions.

Social media is a key player in the job search process today.- Sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ allow employers to get a glimpse of who you are outside the confines of a sum cover letter, or interview while they offer job seekers the opportunity to learn about companies they're interested in; connect with current and former employees; and hear about job openings instantaneously, among other things.
- That's probably why half of all job seekers are active on social networking sites on a daily basis, and more than a third of all employers utilize these sites in their hiring process.
