The big four are LinkedIn, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. To your point about your demographic not being on Facebook, consider these numbers. iStrategyLabs reports (for 1/4/09 - 1/4/10) that the 35-54 age bracket makes up 29% of FB users and grew at over 328% in that time period. 55+, while under 10% grew at over 900%. I strongly contend that this is where more and more people (age irrespective) are congregating, so it is a must as part of your job search. As well, it works to your advantage as being a less crowded marketplace as well (as compared to LinkedIn). Building Your Success, Kevin Randall,

Being an older unemployed individual, most of the folks I network with are not big Facebook users. How many Social Media sites are necessary in the job search? I am always willing to learn so all commencts and advice are good. Thanks I have been heavily using LinkedIn but do not have a Facebook account.
