Does anyone use social networking for job hunting? I'm talking about Facebook and LinkedIn, specifically.
Any pages or groups for creative careers (international) anyone would recommend?

Get off your iPad/iPhone and go meet people; hand out promos, cv's, etc. Stop trying to blend your faceless social life with your job hunt and be proactive Continuity!!!

1) Make a list of companies you would want to work for.
2) Call them on the phone and set up appointments to meet with people who have jobs they need filling.
