I just listened to Jason Alba, CEO of Jibber Jobber talk today in Austin, a presentation organized by Right Management. Jason is an expert on Linked-In and author of I’m On Linked-In, Now What? Jason is remarkably funny. He said when he was a job seeker, he felt like a leper. He had great tips for networking and books such as Never Eat Alone and BRAG! The Art of Tooting Your Horn Without Blowing It.
Quick story: Jason lost his job and discovered how morally and mentally challenging the job search can be. Out of the insights he gained–PAIN he experienced– started Jibber Jobber, which is a Customer Relationship Management tool for the job seeker. There is a free version and a full version for subscribers. The tool looks awesome. Jason also gave us some great tips on Linked-In, such as the Ask Questions feature. And how to link to your resumes through posting on a site such as emurse.com.
