There are people who still don't realize how huge the industry is. They think there is no future in it and the pay is not half as high as in software. But that is wrong and we all know that.

I would also like to add that when creating relationships on LinkedIn be selective about the people who you’re linking with. The person you linked up with on MySpace may not be a good candidate to link up with on LinkedIn Thanks Great Article

Personally I just find it fun to try and take over the whole first page of google for my name. (I'm currently battling some football player also named "Jake Fields". They are always start popping up this time of the year with their new weekly stats.) Definately the way to go, everyone needs a little online reputation management.

I'd say that building up your LinkedIn profile, connecting via LinkedIn, and motivating friends and clients to recommend you on LinkedIn are incredibly important to building your credentials, especially in this field. Also connect with recruiters, especially search recruiters, via LinkedIn. Organizing mini-Pub Con's locally is also a great way to spread your search wealth amongst potential employers ... because chances are a search recruiter may contact one of your friends or local colleagues, and if someone is not planning on relocating, local connections in search are of large importance. Blogging, speaking, finding your niche, networking and building a reputation within the industry are surefire ways to excel your position, salary and benefits in the search world. And it doesn't take long... I mean, had anyone heard of Rebecca Kelley 18 months ago? And now she's become a poster girl for SEO and keyword research. Great tips Eric.
