I wish I could say I came up with this, but alas I did not. Credit this article to another career network running in NYC which I'm monitoring for ideas. I couldn't resist grabbing and reposting this here:
From Chandlee, a resume writer and career coach and Organizer for the NYC Job Seekers & Career Strategy Meetup I strongly recommend that you use Google News Alerts to stay current with your industry, companies you've applied to, and even to monitor your own name... There's a new player in the Web 2.0 space that takes it even further: Check out SocialMinder.com; they let you set Google News Alerts on topics that are important to your Gmail contacts--and keep track of when you were last in contact with people. A brilliant approach to networking if you do it well--always nice to send a gentle reminder to someone you haven't heard from in a while--especially when it includes information of interest to them... |
