I saw some job-hunting tips in the March Glamour that you might could use now or in the future or pass on to someone who could use them:

"How Facebook Can Land You a Job":

1. Create a professional profile - Treat it like a resume - as in ax, the love meter. And set your personal stuff to "private" so work people can't find it.

2. Rack up contacts. Recruit colleagues past and present (if they don't reply, let it go). To invite a stranger, ask a mutual colleague for an introduction.

3. Work your page. When job hunting, email your contacts. Meanwhile, e-schmooze by posting smart commments on other profiles and blogs.
