#ATLMix Tweetup

By

I want to “personally” invite you to join me and Stephanie A. Lloyd for the third  #ATLMix Tweetup on Thursday, June 17th beginning at 6 pm at  Pizzeria Venti on Lenox Road in Buckhead. Pizzeria Venti’s owners, Brian and Jaime Lackey and their staff are so hospitable, and we appreciate their sponsorship of our event! If you’re on Twitter, follow the hashtag #ATLMix for information and to connect with other people who plan to attend.

Even if you are not using Twitter (yet!), feel free to join us! I invited a non-tweeting colleague who asked, “What is the advantage of a tweetup?” Let me count the ways! For the uninitiated, a tweetup is just the Twitter term for a get-together/opportunity to network with all different types of people. It’s amazing what synergies there are between professionals in very different fields.

Networking is important for job seekers and non-job seekers alike. This tweetup (free to attend – you purchase your food and beverages) – is a great way to connect with people you would probably never otherwise meet! I hope to see you there, and feel free to invite your friends!

You can find details and registration here. Space is limited so be sure to sign up early.

Do you follow companies on LinkedIn?

By

You may already know that LinkedIn is one of the most popular (I might dare to say THE most important) site to optimize if you want to make it easier for employers to find YOU. But, did you know that LinkedIn now has a feature that encourages users to follow companies? Sound a little too much like Facebook’s offer to allow you to “like” a company or business?

Read my post at Job-Hunt.org to learn about the feature and how you can use it to propel your search.

I am pleased to count many of them as my friends. Be sure to visit Job-Hunt.org’s home page and review the list on the left – “help from job search experts” – to read their advice and to learn about a slew of career advice topics.

Read my first article here – about how LinkedIn allows you to follow companies, and why you might want to take them up on it!
