New Gen Tech show: Jobs and the Application Process, A New Market

Web 2.0 and the social media aspect of our everyday lives has made our application process much different than, say, 10 years ago would have played
out. We discuss the road map that we have taken over the last year or two.  Christian got a job right our of undergrad, and speaks on the transparency that Facebook offered for him and his then future employer.  Danny, the ever cunning photographer, offers up his story of photojournalism and the such (tip: always wear your camera around your neck during your interviews for a photography job) and describes how not going to big name college may not be the end of the world (he still landed a great job).  Joyce, the blogger aficionado, talks about getting hired for one thing, only to have her role changed - and how it all ended up swell in the end anyways.

What were these people up to over the past week since we last heard from them?  Christian attended the Batoka launch

 Danny watched the Batoka launch live over the internet through uStream, a digital streaming service that Sun uses.  uStream is really neat - so check it out...or better yet listen to us talk about it!  

Be sure to tune in every OTHER Monday for the next show...Next week:  Business and Career Development guru Mitchell Friedman, from the University of San Francisco comes on and talks about the hiring process in the volatile job market. 

Tune in live Mon Nov 3rd at 10am PST live...send us some questions you want to ask, or give us a call live at (347) 996-5116 and ask away!
