Good managers will do their own recruiting by having their own great network. Penelope, your true and accomplished voice at this time is writing.

Career centers don’t understand social media. Most people get jobs from their network, not from a career center. And social media is the fastest, most effective way for you to build a network. It only serves to limit you in the social media world. What it boils down to, for me, is networking.
