Speaking of LinkedIn, be sure to get your current and past
co-workers to write LinkedIn recommendations for you.
Here's how to get them to bother:

Yes, excellent idea!  Here are my notes about why and how to
create a GitHub repo instead of just sending out resumes:
- http://bristle.com/Tips/Career.htm#create_a_github_repo

And even if you don't have a personal blog or website, or a
GitHub repo, you can get involved in a FOSS (Free and Open
Source Software) project.  It's a great way to gain some
practical experience and "street cred".  And It's easier than
you think.  See:
