Applying SEO To Job-Hunting

TechNexus (map)

Selected By: Scott

Are you a job seeker in search of employment? If so, I have arranged an extraordinary event to assist you! On Tuesday, January 24th starting at 6 p.m. I have arranged an expert well-versed in applying SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to job hunting. It will be entitled, I Want To Be Found: Using SEO to Enhance Your Job Search.” 

Employers and recruiters are increasingly relying on online search as a way to uncover and attract qualified candidates.  But how can job seekers ensure that they will be found? What SEO techniques can enhance one’s prospects? Expert Gordon Dymowski will discuss these topics and more including optimizing online channels to create a “communications hub” to make oneself a lot more “visible” during online searches, resulting in a higher frequency of contacts and more job interviews! 

Mr. Dymowski has over ten years experience in non-profit/cause-related advocacy and marketing, building communities one cause at a time through a strategic, creative approach to social media (and other online channels) and interpersonal engagement, allowing non-profits and small businesses to outperform their competitors through engaging their constituency. His past employers include, Harvard School of Public Health, Salvation Army, the National Council on Alcoholism & Drug Abuse, and Zocalo Group. Gordon continues to indulge his passion for community building, co-organizing the Chicago Net Tuesday group (which enables social benefit organizations to leverage the tools of the social web) and coordinating marketing efforts for the Chicago Red Cross’ Mission. He also blogs on a variety of subjects ranging from comics and popular culture to non-profits, and is a frequent contributor to the Chicago Now Job Stalker blog. Gordon has a master’s degree in counseling psychology from the Loyola Graduate School of Education. Please go to http://www.gordondymowski.com/ to learn more about Mr. Dymowski. 

The seminar will be held on Tuesday, January 24th starting at 6 p.m. at TechNexus at 200 S. Wacker on the 15th Floor. Please go to http://www.technexus.com/ for more details on this unique venue. 

 

Please Note: Because I have invited several related SEO and SEM groups to attend, and because THIS IS A VERY SECURE BUILDING, I respectfully make THREE REQUESTS: 1) that you arrive no later than 6 p.m. 2) if you RSVP and cannot make it, please change your RSVP to “NO” so others on the waiting list can attend and 3) PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FULL NAME (if it is not listed on your profile) AND THE FULL NAMES OF ANY OF YOUR GUESTS (security will check you in on the first floor and I will need to supply them your full name in order to enter the building).

    Great meetup. I would have added the disclaimer that this is a beginners talk. And would have liked time to network. Overall I am glad I attended.

    Thank you to Scott for coordinating this meet up. Gordon was very down to earth, didn't use any fancy jargon and shared a lot of different tips and strategies he has used to be successful in his job search/using SEO.
