Facebook is often overlooked as a resource for internship/job searching and professional networking. Companies that are forming fan pages are eager to connect with potential hires (and career services offices on FB are, too - I speak from experience!) I don' t think students always realize it, but using Facebook to keep in touch with friends that graduated a year or two before them is a great way to maintain relationships and to network with classmates-turned-young professionals, who may work at organizations that are of interest. It pays to be more deliberate in touching base with friends on Facebook that are out in the "real world" and to ask how things are going in their new(-ish) full-time jobs. Great advice, Monika!
