In the spotlight: Mashable

Ok, so there are a wealth of websites to trawl across while you are job searching, some are good, some not so good. So here I want to share with you some of our favourites. Website's we keep going back to again and again and what the benefits of using each site can be.

First up, we have Mashable

What is it?
A resource for all things tech, social, mobile and design

Why use it?
Simply, because;

• It is full of up to the minute articles with ideas and best practices covering a range of topics including business and marketing.
• Their style is easy to read, even if you are not tech savvy!
• Research industry trends and company developments across the globe.

Who is it for?
Well, in your job searching stage most definitely all of you! But as you get into a career it will be useful for those responsible for marketing research, technology based roles and/or designers. It has a creative angle but filled with technical insight.

Fave find?
There is a great article about How to Optimise your LinkedIn profile. The article advocates the power of keeping your social profiles up to date and some key development areas for you to consider.  If you are not already using LinkedIn then why not give it a trial run...

We'd love to hear how you get on with each of these sites and of course why not share with us your favourites too!
