There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).
Good luck job hunters!

  1. ‘TIS THE SEASON TO RING IN “LINKED IN”! While you’re preparing for inner peace and joy to weather life’s difficulties, be sure to email all the connections in your network individually. Wish them a Merry Christmas, Season’s Greetings, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza—whichever may apply—and a Happy New Year, as well. Remind them that you welcome tips of potential opportunities and would love hearing from them anytime in the New Year. Urge them to please contact you if they need your assistance. The http://www.linkedin.com forum is an effective way to keep up with multiple friends and contacts and keeps you fresh in mind should a golden opportunity arise. Emailing your network is especially convenient this time of year and gives you a perfect excuse to remain visible without feeling that you are pestering anyone. A laid off Lehman exec was able to parlay himself into a new job in less than six unemployed weeks using this tactic. He reconnected with a former boss from two jobs before and they reunited in a Starbucks Coffee Shop. He didn’t have to negotiate salary. The new company matched it and offered him the job!
