Are you on LinkedIn?

As I am finishing the last semester in my MS I.O. Psych program, the hunt for a job begins. Yes, we are in a down economy, and apparently still on unstable ground, but there is no time like the present to begin my quest to feed my family. I spent today updating my LinkedIn profile, requesting more network connections, and asking for a few recommendations from my various supervisors, teachers, and fellow classmates. I also breifly scoured the internet for HR positions in the sports journalism world; ESPN and SI are looking for senior associates, and that, I am not.
The purpose of this documentation is more for myself than for anyone else. Hopefully I will be able to track my progress and effort in finding a job, while staying lighthearted about the possible daunting journey I am about to begin. If I can shed some light on the process and emotion for any fellow job hunters out there, then I have exceeded any of my expectations.
