Job Hunter Chronicles: Sys Admin Found Last 3 Jobs Online

From The Job Hunters Chronicles:

A new submission by Alex Alborzfard, a systems administrator, took up the question we posed at the launch of our new Chronicles section: "Does Anyone Really Find a Job Online?"

In addition to making use of online job search and automated-search technologies, he suggests that social networking sites such as LinkedIn are have also played an important role in his success finding employment online.
