UBC journalism professor and online media guru Alfred Hermida compiles some sound advice for students and job seekers about preparing for the job hunt in this post on reportr.net.

• Blog as often as possible
• Create a video resume
• Use LinkedIn and Twitter
• Engage online

Hermida concludes: “It is a far cry from mailing a CV and cover letter to the HR department.”
