No longer just another piece of paper in a stack of resumes, online job-seekers have more power than ever to show off, brag and stand out. Julie Weingarden Dubin - Forbes.com Newly unemployed in January 2009, Teresa Basich of Los Angeles turned to Twitter to check out potential job opportunities. She began following others with similar professional and personal interests. "I struck up a loose camaraderie with a contact on Twitter based on my interest in learning more about social media marketing and community management," says Basich, who also created a blog to host her résumé and share her thoughts on professional topics. "I chatted with this contact regularly on both a personal and professional level." Fast-forward one year and that connection led Basich to a dream job as content marketing manager for a social media monitoring technology firm. Despite the bleak statistics--there are roughly 15 million people unemployed in the U.S., and about 70 million more with jobs looking to make a career move--you can land a job via the Internet. A survey conducted by CareerXRoads.com, an employment consulting firm, shows that in 2009, 13.2% of external hires were found through job boards and 22.3% were from a company's website.
