I’m excited to announce that I’ll be participating at the first ever Twitter Conference. It’s called America’s Job Conference on Twitter hosted by Tweet My Jobs on July 19th starting at 9 AM PST. My session which I will be tweeting and is similar in nature to Job Hunt Chat’s format is from 12-1 PM PST. I’ll be discussing job search strategies for the experienced professional to executive.
One of the reasons I was thrilled to collaborate with the conference is because this blog was founded on the principle nearly four years ago. In 2007, I started blogging with the intention of providing job seekers information, resources, and insights into why they couldn’t get the job. As a corporate HR and Recruiting pro, my hands were tied. Attorney’s advised me from giving you the real reason you didn’t get the job for fear it could result in legal action. They’re risk averse in general. It’s not that we were likely doing anything wrong, it’s just status quo. My blog started to give you more than, “I’m sorry you weren’t the right fit for the position,” and here I am.
I recommend that you check out the conference by doing a couple things:

But before you send a tweet, I’ve compiled for you a Job Seeker Toolkit. I’ve included resume and cover letter templates and other valuable resources to get job seekers started or jump started in the job search. Enjoy and I’ll see you on July 19th at the American Twitter Job Conference.
