I must concur with the responses here, the info provided above is absolutely USELESS!!!! After seeing these responses the AJC should have just trashed this one, nothing useful here for any job seeker, just a bunch of vague answers.

Or you could open a top ramen noodle manufacturing plant.The comments above are not helpful, the responses to the comments are more practical information for getting a job in this climate. Jeepers!

I am tired of all these HR professionals with the same tired, lame advice. Call me jaded or pessimistic, but I’m sick of it. I am in a rut like so many other people and all I need is a chance. The bad part is that all over the US people blogs and sites have so-called HR professionals talking in riddles. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT’S WHO YOU KNOW! Anyone living in metro Atlanta can attest to that. And this tidbit has nothing to do with class, gender, race, age, ethnicity, nationality, or sexual orientation—we simply live in a society built on what they now call, “social networkiing.” Who you know, not what you know. And to think I thought sleeping to the top would get me somewhere, honey, Please.

I have to agree that was pretty lame advice in these times. In particular the attorney…that read like a thesis.

Are these people for real? Given the present employment situation I believe that these “helpers” should be removed as they are “useless”. These people are obviously comfortable and are wallowing in ignorance.

Amen, Benny…if you can sell, you’ll always be employed.
