Are you using 19th Century technology for your job search process? Most people today are still sending a cover letter and a resume to hiring managers, using 1804 technology, and then having a telephone conversation, using 1876 technology. You can distinguish yourself from the competition by using contemporary communications technology.

Electronic career portfolios are the greatest technological advance in proactive job hunting in over a century. They enable employers and candidates to get into a meaningful dialog more quickly, whether over the phone or in person, thereby improving the quality of the interviewing process for both parties.
