We know, you hate your job -- we would too if we had to work on a PC all day. But just because the economy stinks doesn’t mean you can’t change jobs. It only means you’re going to have to work a little harder at it. These days, your professional online profile is as good as a first impression, so spend a little time sprucing up your LinkedIn.com profile with an updated résumé, skills, and a photo (not one of your drunken Facebook ones; in fact, you should probably delete those altogether). Think of the web as your first interview and present yourself accordingly.

LinkedIn is kinda like Facebook, but without all the stalking.

But having a refined online image means nothing if you’re matched up with the wrong employer. Head to the App Store for some focus on your job hunt with the free Career Quiz from Madison College, which steers you down a path based on a lengthy analysis of your prowess and preferences. Once you’ve nailed down a new career, the hard part is far from over. Check out Monster.com and its handy and free Monster.com Jobs iPhone app for some help with the next step: you’ll not only find an array of jobs to apply for, but also get some handy advice on the ever-important interview process.

Monster.com Jobs lets you pilot a job search from your iPhone.

And after all that, if you’re still stuck in your dismal job, download Pranayama ($17.99, “lite” version for free) from the Mac App Store and learn some stress-relieving breathing exercises. (It’s also a $5.99 universal app for iOS, called Health Through Breath: Pranayama.) Then go compliment your boss on his new Mercedes.
