I’ve been a fan of Jason Alba, author of I’m on LinkedIn, Now What? and CEO of JibberJobber for awhile now. He turned his tough experience of looking for his next job into a career in itself: author, business owner, and renowned expert on job searching and career transitions.

His most recent blog post, Paradigm Shift: Job Search vs. Career Management, is a must-read. Bookmark or print it and refer to it throughout your career. It includes all the best from all the latest job search strategy experts. This is not just for people looking for a job, it’s about managing your career, so it applies to everybody.

Be informed, or be unemployed.
