It's Labor Day Weekend, which marks a time of new beginnings for many as schools start back up around the country. Speaking of new beginnings, we thought it would be a good time to share some helpful tips on looking for a job online.

Gone are the days of getting the morning paper, scouring through and circling ads, making phone calls and mailing resumes. These are the days of online portfolios, professional profiles, emailing resumes, automated job searches and online networking.

BeckyC, Jaime_Lee and I are on the road this week tracking down the most innovative and upcoming trends in community support forums. The three of us arrived at the sold out 2010 LINC Conference in San Francisco on Wednesday. The event is hosted by Lithium Technologies – the same company responsible for the forum’s technology you are using right now.
