If the last time you searched for a job was 20, 10 or even five years ago, you probably feel like you’ve stumbled into a whole new world. You’d be right.

It’s a techno-savvy world where recruiters search for candidates and job seekers find positions virtually, or in the “clouds.” It’s a world where people speak in terms of Web 2.0 (the trends toward an increasingly interactive Web) and Mobile 2.0, which is “the convergence of mobile services and Web services,” that allows people access to sending and receiving information anywhere, anytime.
