I was on Twitter ASAP & had a job offer before I left the parking lot. I blogged & Twittered my job hunting experience for 3 weeks & it paid off. The two others in my department are now working independently & constantly have work coming in due to their relationships created on Twitter. Thanks again. -jen Thanks Jeremiah-

I've been collecting similar data for a few years, focusing on the method used, and whether or not the person was an active or passive job seeker when they landed the new job. Would be happy to share what I have so far (rolling window of 24-months of data based on face-to-face interviews and, recently, LinkedIn responses). Not much detail on the job landed (not salary or job title). Excellent idea!

I found that if I was already on the mailing list because I was interested in its topic, the jobs posted were probably good fits for me - much better signal to noise ratio than Craigslist, which was my second-most-important source. Looking forward to the data, especially people's advice for staying current and what skills are needed now.
