Jibber Jobber Blog » Medical Prescriptions for the Unemployed: Pfizer Does It Right!
I got some information from my good (virtual) buddy Jessica Lee yesterday that really blew me away. I’ve blogged about health care here a few times - starting from when I cut my hand open to my thoughts about Obama saving the healthcare system… but this one is really heartening. And I get to blog about it on the Fourth of …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Free Webinar: Where Is The Recession Headed?
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to chat with Mark Hovind, of Job Bait, about this recession. Mark is a numbers nut… he is very analytical and loves trends and crunching numbers and stuff like that.
We talked about a particular graph he developed showing the trends of the recession… I had seen this graph before but listening …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Just How Messed Up is HR?
One of my favorite HR blogs is Punk Rock HR, written by Laurie Ruettimann. Laurie just … tells it like it is. Lots of surprises, and tons of honesty.
A few weeks ago she wrote a blog post about career options for HR professionals, based on a question she got from one of her blog readers. The reader asks would she …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Job Search - How To Find Target Companies
There are lots of ways of finding target companies… here’s one that might make sense for you.
Google your town/state and “Venture Capital” or “Venture Fund.” You are looking for local venture capital websites. Venture capitalists are the people who help fund companies, whether they are startups, or larger companies who need some money. You can think of …

Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist » How to divorce new-millennium style (and I love Kate Gosselin)
The generation leading the revolution in divorce is, of course, Gen X. The biggest change is that there is a generation of people getting a divorce who were more or less equals in parenting and in work. Baby boomers talked about it, but when the women went to work, they did all the housework and childcare as well. Not as true …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Fun Networking
As a followup to my post Uncomfortable Networking (which got tweeted and shared a lot more than I would have guessed), let me throw out another job search networking post.
In my job search, after I read Never Eat Alone and had some personal paradigm shifts, I grew to LOVE networking. Networking was FUN!
I wasn’t focused on landing my next …

Jibber Jobber Blog » JibberJobber, the Personal CRM, in a Poem (!!)
It’s not every day your product gets mentioned in a poem, that is in a published book! Check out what very-clever John Steensen wrote (the part about JibberJobber is in bold green). You can get his book of 32 poems, all based on technology, from this page.

Jibber Jobber Blog » Personal Relationship Manager
When I started doing research on JibberJobber I had a notion that this would become a personal relationship manager.
Most CRM tools, including Salesforce, Goldmine, ACT!, etc. focus on a sales process. They have sales jargon, sales reports, etc. I wanted to develop something that did not have that jargon or emphasis, but would help people manage personal …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Uncomfortable Networking
When I started my job search I knew I wouldn’t have to waste time networking.
I was too busy looking for a job to spend time networking. I didn’t want to take hours each week in the car, spending money to going to events, and schmoozing with people who really had nothing to offer me.
One day I broke down …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Want to become a LinkedIn Expert? Check out my LinkedIn DVD!
Seems like nowadays everyone says they are a LinkedIn expert… there are a bunch of people talking about LinkedIn… how to use LinkedIn in a job search, how to use LinkedIn to make a sale, how to use LinkedIn for _________.
I realize I’m totally biased about my LinkedIn DVD (I’m quite proud of it :p), perhaps it’s not fair …

Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist » Hatemail: Email I get that I hate
People always ask me to answer questions on my blog. So I am sort of going to answer questions. Questions I hate (that I have edited to save people from the trauma I probably caused David Dellifield):
Email number one: The obnoxious reference check
[Name redacted] is applying for a position at our company and listed you as a …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Career Envy
I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that I have career envy.
There’s this guy I know who had a spectacular career, made decent money (wasn’t rich), and now has a pension that would make a working person jealous.
In retirement he makes more than many people will ever make during their career (especially in this economy).
Actually, it’s not just …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Twitter and your Job Search
Susan Joyce of Job-Hunt.org wrote two important posts that will help you incorporate Twitter into your job search strategy:

Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist » What's the connection between abortion and careers?
I have had two abortions.
The first one was when I was twenty-seven. I was playing professional beach volleyball. I was playing volleyball eight hours a day and I spent two hours a day at the gym. I noticed that I was getting tired more easily, but I thought it meant I needed to train harder.
Then one weekend, a doctor …

Penelope Trunk's Brazen Careerist » How to be a tall person at work
The Institute of Social and Economic Research recently published a study about the connection between popularity in high school and earning power later in life. New York magazine, information source to the rich and popular, summarized the study like this: "This study may seem to burst our Revenge of the Nerds fantasies, but it's logical that people who are attractive, likable, and …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Quick Save on Add Contact
Not sure how I missed this one, I knew it was coming… but I didn’t write about it in my last “JibberJobber News” post…
For years we’ve been asked to put a Save button at the top of the screen of the add contact, since you have to scroll down about three pages to find it (which is no fun …

Jibber Jobber Blog » Why Grandma Should Use JibberJobber
Disclaimer: while talking about “grandma” I hope I’m not crossing any PC lines… you know, maybe I should have said Grandpa (because he should do what is described below?), or Nana, or Grammy, or whatever. No offence intended, to grandmas, nanas, grammys, grandpas, etc.
JibberJobber is a job search tool, right?
Not really.
It’s a personal relationship management tool (shhh! …
