Are you selling your ability to provide employer branding? You should be...

Job boards have become prisoners of their moniker. After all, a ‘job board’ is just an online bulletin board for ‘posting’ your electronic ‘job ad’, right?

Wrong. Job boards (and yes, I think I’m going to write a post pretty soon about alternative names!) began growing past that simple definition by 1999, if not before. Sure, they were places where employers could search candidate resumes (and if it was a niche board, then very…

Can you really get something for nothing....

We have recently decided to start charging a small monthly fee of $5 at Job Board Reviews for

advertising job sites in our directory. The reasoning behind this is to

help cut some of our overheard and be able to keep the site up and

running with quality content. We also wanted to incorporate a small fee

to help determine who is serious about their job sites.

What do your job board customers want?

When was the last time you asked your job board customers what they want? Not just a one-off question to a few clients – but an systematic, organized survey of everyone who uses your site? Employers and job seekers?

Text Messaging is great but not during a career search!

Great article today in the Wall Street Journal titled, "Thx for the IView!..." written by Sarah Needleman. You can read the article on page D1 or online at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB121729233758791783.html

At GoliathJobs, we also consult with schools on best practices such interview tips and proper dress. While I do agree that text messaging has it's place, it does not belong in the career search sector. That would be the equivalent of "Pig Latin" being used in business when it… Continue
