Just tell everyone you know that you're looking and what you're looking for.

So, because you can never tell who will have a connection - you just have to tell everyone.

Linked in basically does exactly what you said above for you. That would be the real use for it.

I know that's what it's supposed to do. But so far I haven't actually seen any of that happening on LinkedIn.

I can personally vouch for it. I have recruited through it and have been recruited.

That's another thought. I think my agnostic a$$ will be fine, mainly because I appreciate these sorts of differences. It probably doesn't hurt that I have a few Mormon members of my own family. I should go with g-ma to a Christmas party or two and pass the word around... hehe. :)

THAT m'dear, is networking. And yes, you should :) Tell everyone how excited you are to be moving to Utah, and then talk about how you just graduated and are looking for ... (blah blah blah)

I guess I should update my LinkedIn with a few more connections...

I thought I was on it, but I bet I didn't fill everything out, or something. I just made a LinkedIn.

Oh, and incidentally, I came home at the same time one of my grandma's home teachers came over. She is actually in semi-retirement from being a professor at Cal State Long Beach and lives in Utah. (ahem!)

Thanks to this thread I logged in and updated my profile. Now to update the resume even though I've decided I'm going to try to stay put at least until I graduate next December. I'll have 2.5 years of experience and a degree.

Things aren't horrible. I have some awesome bosses and we're releasing new software soon.
