Also, there are different pitfalls that await people of different ages. But regardless of your age or stage of career, a smart résumé is essential.

How to Clean up Your Facebook Page for Job Searching | eHow.com

#

Check your privacy settings. A great way to protect yourself in the job search is by limiting what others can see. If you are searching for a job, only your friends should be able to see your profile. This will allow you a little more flexibility about what you post. However, remember it is a very small world, and that blocking your profile enough might not be enough. There are several ways that future employers can access your profile.
#
Step 2

Change your profile picture to something nice, boring, and professional. You don't have to be in a suit, but you should not be showing cleavage or wearing an outfit that would make your grandmother cringe.
#
Step 3

Untag any photos that show you engaging in illegal activity, that are provocative or sexual in nature, and/or that you are drinking in. While that may sound harsh, it is necessary. If you feel like that would be too much work or you would like to be able to access your partying pictures, just change your privacy settings so that no one can see your photos.

How do I go about giving an employer my resume at a career fair? · careers

Unfortunately, most job fairs are a waste of time. Don’t go with the plan to go from booth to booth handing out resumes like halloween candy. Have a few with you in the event a particular recruiter you like requests your resume.

A better approach, if you think a particular job fair might be beneficial, would be to collect the recruiter’s business cards. Ask lots of questions including what jobs they are filling and qualifications they require. Then go home, customize your resume and cover letter to the job and personally address the recruiter/hiring manager. Email is OK, but I prefer professional grade paper, folders and full size envelopes to help set myself apart.
