It's increasingly tempting in this web age to sit in front of a computer and let your fingers do the walking.

Many people assume that if they scan enough job boards, email a ton of recruiters and work LinkedIn and Twitter like crazy that their next job will magically appear in their in-box.

The truth is that while working the web is essential to any job search these days, it shouldn't come at the expense of doing it the old-fashioned way.

You've got to get out of the house, meet face-to-face with hiring managers and network with as many people as you can.

Women For Hire fall career fairs---now in our 11th year---offer the perfect forum to do that.

So take a break from the web, leave your house and join us in Washington, DC on Thursday, October 29. Details available at: http://www.womenforhire.com/career_expos/fall_2009/washington_dc
