Posted by The Editors , Jan, 2010 @ 7:01 pm

Courtesy of our partner site The Galley, I offer you a list of great reading material for job seekers in 2010!

Social Media Predictions 2009- Exactly what it sounds like and you can download a sweet .pdf. Hint: Web 2.0 is about passion and quality, not quantity (though that is important, too).
How to Blog and Grow Rich- Makes it sound easier than it is, but some helpful tips.
Are all Bloggers Journalists?- A very personal and interesting take on this endless debate.
How to Give Gifts Unconditionally- A very sweet take on cheap and thoughtful gifts (and just in time for you holiday procrastinators).
8 Job Interview Tips- They are a bit obvious (like looking the interviewer in the eyes), but these gentle reminders are still key interview rules, and this article is nice crash course.
How to Update Your Resume- Again, some are gentle reminders, but all are very important. These tips (like preparing a separate resume to tackle salary history questions), are a great place to start if you are beginning to revamp your resume.
Personal Branding Lessons from an Advertising Exec- Great tips like, “Define and articulate your vision, mission, and message” and my personal favorite, “Learn and grow professionally.”
Top 100 Blogs- If you are trying to get a new job, freelance write or blog, you NEED to be reading these. This is what the world is talking about.
100+ Places to Find a Job- Comprehensive list of sites to find gigs ranging form education to tech. Lists career building sites as well, and explains briefly what they all can do for you.
Networking Tips- Been following @DailyCareerTips on Twitter. This is last week’s roundup. My fave: “When asking to network, don’t ask for appt convenient to you ask for a time that is “amenable to them across the next few weeks.” If you are on Twitter, I would follow them!
