Ned Flanders Coming to Minneapolis
Well, not really. But the CEO of JibberJobber is coming to Minneapolis to speak at JobDig. Say that ten times fast and then we'll see who sounds like Ned ("hi diddly do neighbor?") Flanders from The Simpsons.
I've had the good fortune to meet and get to know Jason Alba. His story is inspirational. He was downsized in 2006 and found the process of finding a job to be a very difficult job. He drew on his extensive computer software and I.T. experience, analyzed the job search process, and developed JibberJobber.com, the gold standard in career management technology. For those on the employer side of the table, think of JibberJobber as an applicant tracking system for candidates. It helps them keep track of the jobs they're targeting, applications, interviews, offers, etc.
Jason is also a social media expert and focuses his efforts in that arena on getting professional or business value out of various social tools. Jason maintains four blogs, including JibberJobber.com/blog, and is co-author of "I'm on Facebook - Now What???"
So why am I telling you all of this? Well, if you're anywhere close to Minneapolis on Monday then stop by the head office of JobDig from 5pm to 6:30pm and you'll get to meet Jason and take in his presentation:
Social Tools and Technologies for Recruiters - LinkedIn is obviously a powerful tool for recruiters. What about other social tools, such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs? How can recruiters develop and execute a social networking strategy that will help them find new (and passive) candidates, engage with them and develop a relationship, enriching their candidate pool? Join Jason Alba as he shares what he's learned as a job seeker and career management advocate, taking you on a tour of successful recruiter strategies with these four technologies.
Space is limited to 50 attendees and is on a first come, first serve basis. Sign-up today at the Minnesota Recruiters web site.
