Are you on Facebook? Keeping up with who all is getting married or having a baby? Perhaps looking pictures of a friend's grandkids? Then some wiseacre tells you that Facebook is a good way to find a job?

Can one still have fun and be an effective job seeker using Facebook? Allison Doyle of About.com has doubts. She said, "I used to think that job seekers could still have some fun on Facebook if they were careful about their privacy setting. Now I'm starting to think that unless you are super careful and set your privacy settings so your profile is almost in jail, it can be an issue when you're job seeking." One Facebook user told me, "Trying to job hunt on Facebook will either ruin my fun or lose jobs." Anthony, a dislocated technical support person, said about Facebook job hunting, "No way am I doing that -- too many dangers."

However, it is just as wrong to ignore social media in job seeking. More than half of employers now use Facebook to find employees, and 95 percent use LinkedIn. Twitter is used by 42 percent. A local county park director hired a new secretary who applied using Twitter.

"No one applied the old fashioned way by dropping off a r?sum?," he said.

Here are some tips when using Facebook:

Check your online persona. What picture will a prospective employer get of you online? Google your name using quotation marks. Some are surprised at what they find on line about themselves. What employers learn about you online can be a job killer. If you are using Facebook for fun and job hunting, present yourself as being rather square or PG.

Think of your Facebook profile as your brand. Make sure that information you want to keep private is not out there for the whole world.

Facebook job hunting is really networking. Don't think of it as something that new. It's the same networking that I taught in job search classes for 37 years. Facebook makes it easier to find jobs through the help of friends.

Have fun. Job hunt on Facebook, but be careful.

Chicago - For constituents familiar with the brash way he governed Illinois, it comes as no surprise that Rod Blagojevich wants to make one last statement to the public before he leaves his family and reports this week to serve 14 years in prison.

The former governor's lawyers say he wants to go out with dignity. But that may be difficult in front of the television cameras he so adored as a politician that likely will illuminate his every step from his bungalow in Chicago's Northwest Side to the gate of the Colorado prison he requested.

Who will stand with him when he speaks to the media Wednesday as promised? Will he offer contrition, as he did before his sentencing judge? Or will he again profess his innocence, as he did through his two trials and as his wife Patti did for him in a televised interview in recent days?

Will he make one last stop before reporting for prison Thursday at a favorite haunt, just as his predecessor, George Ryan, stopped at a pancake house for coffee on his way to prison in 2007?

"These last few days - they are the hardest of all," said Jim Laski, a former Chicago city clerk who was sentenced to two years in prison for corruption in 2006. "You feel helpless. You think about prison 24/7. You can't sleep."

Since his December sentencing on 18 counts that included trying to sell President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat, Blagojevich hasn't granted interviews and his attorneys say he wants to avoid a media frenzy. But the man soon to be identified as federal prisoner No. 40892-424 plans to step outside his home Wednesday to address the media. His publicist said he never planned to slip away undetected.

Spokesman Glenn Selig offered few hints about what Blagojevich could say, explaining only that, "He has truly enjoyed being out in public. He never considered `sneaking' out of Chicago and miss an opportunity to say goodbye."

Blagojevich, a 55-year-old father of two daughters, used his rhetorical skills to help win one term as a congressman and two as Illinois governor. After his arrest in 2008, the Democrat turned to those same skills to persistently declare his innocence on the national talk-show circuit, but in the end they couldn't help him persuade a jury when he took the witness stand during his retrial.

The former governor could tear a page from a well-worn book on how former Illinois governors spent their last days before prison. Four of the state's last nine governors served time after convictions.

Ryan, Blagojevich's Republican predecessor, made a public statement in 2007, also one day before he was due to begin serving a 6 1/2-year sentence after being convicted on corruption charges that he always denied.

COMMENTARY

Plainclothes police are staking out the hideout, snipers lock on to their targets from the tops of surrounding buildings and a truckload of Swat team members are hiding nearby _ it's the quiet before the storm. Suspects all accounted for in the hideout, check. Certain evidence confirmed in the hideout, check. Communication lines secured, neighbourhood cleared, weapons locked and loaded, full metal jackets in place, check, check and check.

''Take them out! Go! Go! Go!'' The element of surprise is half the battle.

Ah, the goose-bumps I get when watching a police raid in a Hollywood movie. But when I learned I was to witness my first real-life Thai police raid on the morning of Feb 28, I wasn't that excited.

At 10.30am, the question came: ''What are you doing at the office, aren't you supposed to be at the raid?'' Answer: ''Bah, there's no hurry.'' At 11.30am another question: ''Shouldn't you have left already?'' Answer: ''Nah, I'll leave in an hour.''

At the scene, 1pm. Inside the compound of the Cabbages & Condoms restaurant, a man with a shaved head standing under the scorching sun, sweat oozing from his every pore. A pair of Ray-Bans covered his sad, mysterious eyes. His hands rested on his hips in a devil-may-care manner befitting a lone cowboy eyeing a group of pilgrims, who were even sweatier since they had been there for hours. The cowboy, who could have used a hat, sighed and with an exasperating twang said: ''Nothing happening yet, pilgrims?''

''No,'' one pilgrim replied.

A big crowd of reporters and cameramen have been waiting at the compound since early morning. The police are expected to raid the medical clinic on the second floor of the restaurant. The clinic _ which is not part of the restaurant _ is suspected of providing illegal abortions. A couple of police cars and a few policemen were waiting around. Some 45 minutes later, the commander and other bigwigs arrive. The raid is happening. They are ready to go. The bigwigs then march upstairs, followed by their police entourage as reporters and cameramen crowd after them. The members of the media were prevented from going up by the police. Foreign patrons of the restaurant looked on, bewildered.

More waiting. Some 30 minutes later the bigwigs come down. Camera lights flashing, microphones jabbing, questions spewing _ ''What did you find?'' ''What did you see?''

''We found nothing,'' says the commanding officer, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
