There are thousands of people across Connecticut looking for work, and there are easier ways to find a job nowadays than it was when this picture was taken during the Great Depression.  Try tweeting your way to a new job.  Huh?

That’s the word of marketing, branding and social media guru Bob Ruffolo, CEO of Impact Branding in Wallingford.  Recently named to the prestigious “40 Under 40” list by the Hartford Business Journal, Ruffolo was on Face the State this Sunday to talk about the way the jobless in our state, and those looking to move on to a new job, can get ahead by using social media.

Politicians and businesses are relying more and more on social media, so why not job seekers?   This Sunday Ruffolo shared some secrets to using Twitter, Linkedin, Facebook, and the like to get ahead in our fast paced world.
