Welcome to Boomer Bardo! Note: The following will contain humor: proceed at your own risk. We are some of the coolest and most happening Boomers in the Metroplex! LOL

And for job search, career advancement, web presence optimization and making new connections - are you networked, LinkedIn, Facebooked, MySpaced and Twitterized (and Tweeting)? In short: Are you Search Engine Optimized?

Don't be left out of the job and networking loop by internet warriors. Learn how to survive and thrive with techno-geeks and the rest of us!

How to groove - and the Best Practices - in the latest cutting edge technologies for social networking. Why should you care? Most prospective employers these days first do a Google on your name to see what pops up. How to make sure that what pops up first - is what you want to emphasize. Many jobs are filled (and careers advanced) through LinkedIn and other social networking tools.

So let's link up, network and groove!

See you there!

Networking

Please bring business cards and be prepared to exchange with all. Everyone will have the opportunity to introduce yourself to the group and promote your business, job search or personal interests.

There are also super possibilities for SINGLES interaction at Boomer Bardo meetings in an environment that is fun, interesting and low noise enough to actually have a conversation! While many happily married couples are members and attend Boomer Bardo meetings - there are always hip and groovy Singles at Boomer Bardo meetings.
