How I Got My Job

More and more people are interested in knowing how  to use Twitter, Facebook, and other social media to find work, so as with last time and in the coming weeks, I’ll be re-sharing some How I Got My Job interviews where people have shared how they’ve used it.

I first released this interview with Rob Usdin Summer 2009, and his story underscores the importance of making and fostering connections.
