The October issue of Accountancy Age's digital magazine for part and newly qualified accountants explores how social network sites like Facebook and MySpace can be used to their full potential and boost your career opportunities.

It also features a look at life in local government, shares a pint with Cobra Beer FD Dynshaw Italia, and finds out what happens when the worlds of accountancy, rap and rock collide.
