Hockessin Baptist Church formed a strong networking group for the unemployed called Community Matters Networking. Their group has gotten a lot of press. Here are a few links into it:

One social network this group considers very important is http://www.linkedin.com. Their advice is to register there and go for it. Businesses today are far less likely to put possible job openings on job boards and they search Linkedin first for possible candidates. You should also join groups on Linkedin that are related to your skills and passion. If this is new for you, get the Dummies book for Linkedin.

Couldnt seem to find your subscribe button. It’s much easier for me to reader as an RSS fead than to keep coming back and reading it at your website. Sorry!
I’ll check this out. It use to be here, then got lost when I did a template change.
looks like the first link no longer works. The second one does.
Got the RSS button up there finally.
