Thanks for including Lead Dawg on your list! This is a great group of people who can certainly help new grads achieve their job search goals.
I encourage new or "soon-to-be" grads to develop a PLAN for their job search. Not having a plan often leads to desperation in a job search. That desperation will lead you no where fast especially in our current economic climate. Build a strategy and execute with confidence. Let us know if we can help you become more competitive in your search. Look forward to connecting with you on Twitter!

Thanks for adding me to your list! I hope my tweets help new grads (and all job seekers) realize that there is a lot they DO control in a job search! Take the wheel and drive your own career bus - success will follow!
