On this week’s show, the Gang talks with Paul DeBettignies, a Minnesota tech recruiter, about the state of job search, lots of tips and advice on networking, and about being in-the-game in social networking and why it’s so important in this tough economy.
Hosts: Steve Borsch, Tim Elliott, Graeme Thickins and Phil Wilson.
Paul’s a job coach, mentor, and one of the most AWESOME social and physical networkers we’ve ever met! This guy is EVERYWHERE online: His blog; his brand new BeYourOwnHeadhunter blog (The idea behind the site is to have content on job search, webinars on the same with networking topics like creating/using LinkedIn, and a book for later this spring with information that because of time do not make it into a one hour presentation); LinkedIn profile; Social Media Breakfast; RecruitingBlogs, a social network he started as well as MinnesotaRecruiters; Twitter; and has given speeches and is in articles all over the place…amazing.
By the way, if you’re looking for a speaker on job search, networking or LinkedIn — or are seeking a relationship-based recruiter to help with either IT placements or advice on employer branding, use of social media, etc. — email Paul directly.
