Anyone who owns a computer knows that simply sending out blanket resumes to random employers just doesn't cut it in today's job market. The old methods of searching for a job and attending networking events have been replaced by a more viable online employment quest, utilizing social media, online networking, video promotion and more.

According to author and career expert Dan Schawbel, while a resume may still remain an important part of helping to grab an employer's or headhunter's attention, you also need a unique and special edge to stand out from the pack. Schawbel is a managing partner of Millennial Branding LLC, and a leading authority on what he calls "personal branding."
