What a week! First the Rock Unemployment relaunch, then the wind, rain, and hail here in Los Angeles. Who knows what the weekend will bring?

Here’s a wrap-up of this week’s tips from @RUbetweenjobs.

Job Search Tips:

• Hiring managers check Facebook for research on job candidates. Go through your Facebook photos – including your friends’ tagged photos – to make sure they’re all interview worthy.
• Collaborate on a side project with a friend and put your skills to work while creating something you can add to your portfolio.
• Get your interview skills in order today. Call an unemployed friend and take turns asking questions.
• Make one new job connection this weekend. Ask friends, talk to strangers, or catch up with pals online.

Cheap Fun Idea of the Week:

• If it’s raining where you are, embrace it! Go out and play! …or just read about it on Wil Wheaton’s blog

Now I’m off to bundle up under a blanket and snuggle with the dog. Stay warm out there!
