* Job Hunting Tips – What comes up when you type your name in Google? You might want to check because recruiters are increasingly turning to the search engine to find out more about you. There may not be a story there – but it’s worth a look. The Wall Street Journal reports recruiters may find you on a former employer’s website. If you didn’t mention that employer on your resume it may raise some doubts.

* New Jobs – The Jobs Posting has some great new opportunities including a summer internship with the Maine Games.

Have a great weekend!
