 Greetings!
Where are the jobs? We've seen a significant uptick in job postings and searches for folks with SEO and Social Media skills. Make sure your resume is results-oriented. Show your successes in squeezing additional sales from all that data. Hiring managers want to see numbers! Sales increases... conversion rates... cost savings... productivity enhancements... etc... Here's a nice compilation of Social Media Interview Questions which should be helpful to both a job seeker as well as an employer administering the interview.
 
Employers— Are you buying ads on the big boards for your internet marketing openings? STOP!! and see what we have to offer. We can probably dramatically reduce your outlay, while at the same time providing more bang for your buck. Take a look at a sampling of our network. I see companies all the time making multiple ad buys on job boards that are included in our standard purchase (e.g. LinkedIn). Furthermore, we'll put your job in front of an internet marketing audience no other job posting service reaches. ClickZ started keeping tabs on industry layoffs in early 2008. It doesn't appear they've published an update since last summer. Is that perhaps a sign the bleeding has slowed in this space? Maybe. Nevertheless, I personally still see a lot of new media professionals seeking employment. There's recruiters and hiring managers on this mailing list. Let's see if we can dig in here and help some of these folks land new jobs. Many job seekers in this niche have posted resumes on our website. Take a look... see if you have any matches for them. Forward this email to your colleagues. It'll eventually land in the inbox of someone who could benefit from our job board. There ARE many companies who are growing and hiring right now (new postings daily on our board). STAY POSITIVE!
Candidates: New internet marketing jobs are added to the opportunity silo daily! Post your resume (where employers don't have to pay to see it), customize your job alerts, and check back often. FREE service for candidates. Highlight your certifications: 
Employers: Hundreds of internet marketing candidates are added to our talent silo each week. Register and search today. It's free! Job posting is targeted and widely distributed to a network of publishers as well as directly to active and passive candidate prospects. We have some great packages and programs available. In these tight economic times, stop paying high search agency fees and recruit smarter with eMarketingSilo as a powerful add-on to your sourcing arsenal!
