What's involved to sign up or learn more? | What do our alumni/members learn? | About the Instructor

What do the alumni of Harvard Business School, Stevens Institute of Technology, Rhode Island School of Design and other institutions have in common? They felt appreciated by their alma mater because they got real help on an issue that looms heavily in their lives and their friends/family. And we made it so easy for the schools to give them that help, at no cost to the alumni and a pittance from the institution. Now we'd like you to benefit likewise.

The problem, of course, is jobs. Officially, unemployment affects 10 percent of Americans, but at least double that are underemployed, and everyone has someone close to them who's been affected. To date, more than half the jobs created each month in 2010 were temporary - the "jobless recovery" is still a reality. But some job-seekers are getting an edge over others.

Through their alma mater, we gave them the tools to overcome the frustrations of Internet job boards to learn how to find work, brand and network themselves using completely free online methods in just 90 minutes. As a result, their perception of their college has changed forever. How?

The silver lining in today's economic gray cloud is how you can build your career with social networking, regardless of how introverted or extroverted you are in public. You can also creatively tap no-cost advanced search engine tools and methods -- no programming knowledge required -- to bypass normal channels to discover which companies are growing in your area, and the right people to make contact with (not HR/recruiters) to help secure legitimate work.

Most job-seekers don't know how or where to get started to apply Web 2.0 to their careers, nor do career counselors know all the best, no-cost innovative methods and tools. With this one-time online workshop, offered exclusively by your school to its alumni, they can.

Recruiting research industry Master Cybersleuth Glenn Gutmacher is the guru who's taught thousands of professional headhunters how to find hidden talent. In "Beyond Job Boards: Turbocharge Your Career with Free Social Networking and Web 2.0 Search," he flips the powerful methods that he's given recruiters to help job-seekers -- applicable to any industry, job function, level or location.

His engaging, fast-moving presentation truly shows how to uncover the hidden job market. It has earned raves from university alumni and development offices and, of course, hundreds of alumni themselves at each school where he's imparted that knowledge in his uncannily intuitive, layman-friendly way. (See some of the unsolicited comments in the right-hand column.)

How much would it be worth to your institution to have its alumni showing its appreciation to the school in this way before you try your next fundraising campaign? It's not too late to get a spring, summer or fall 2010 webinar date. Our marketing templates make it simple to promote to your alumni (and current students, if you like), and robust GoToWebinar system makes it easy for up to 1,000 people to register, participate and learn simultaneously from any standard PC or Apple computer. For those who can't login at the chosen time or if you exceed 1,000, we'll give subsequent complimentary online streaming viewing of a webinar recording for one month!

Your department gets a spreadsheet with contact information for all registrants (including any no-shows) and their answers to any questions you want posed on the registration web form. We also provide you a PDF copy of all presentation slides with embedded clickable links for all examples, as well as a comprehensive frequently-asked-questions document, that you can share with registrants so it's easy to replicate what they learned afterwards. No strings attached; we have no follow-up products to sell them.

You can have all that for just $850 (this covers our costs, time, customer service and materials). We can do this because we make most of our money from recruiters. So it's our way to give back to the job-seekers and institutions of higher learning (Glenn is a Yale alumnus) who we feel are so important to the future vitality of this country, and thus also to the recruiting industry.

Interested? Contact Glenn's office at (508)930-9391 or email jobwebinar@recruiting-online.com with questions, or to reserve your school's 2010 webinar (we can suggest optimal dates/times).

In this jam-packed but easy-to-follow online workshop, Glenn shows how to use social networks, innovative online research methods and other Web 2.0 tools to:

• leverage the Internet with special online searches that reveal extremely targeted results, and continue to generate new matches automatically;
• determine growing companies in any industry and/or location;
• find the names and profiles of relevant recruiters and direct hiring managers at these companies;
• explain how to obtain direct contact info and reach out to them most effectively;
• tap the professionally-geared aspects of social networks like LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter (and turbocharge your networks if you're already a member);
• network through blogs, lists, forums, associations and user groups;
• create and build your personal brand to convey your expertise;
• even create your own group on social networking platforms -- pulling the right people into your circle and creating a magnet to help others find you.

Together, these game-changing methods work in two amazing and complementary ways on your behalf:

1. Advanced search and networking: quickly find the right companies, people and communities that get you the insider connections that open doors. You discover who the hiring decision-makers are at growing companies before they post jobs, and can position yourself to get in the door without the usual competition.
2. Super-enhanced personal branding: works like a magnet to pull the right people into your circle and create the referral environment by which others find and reach out to you

The result? Dramatically increase your likelihood of landing full-time or project work, or create your own ideal job when no relevant opening exists.

Perhaps the best part is all the methods and tools shown are no-cost, and can be done from almost any Internet-connected computer. And Glenn is uncanny in his ability to demystify the new tools of the Internet for job-seekers. So there's no excuse not to be implementing these powerful, proven yet little-known techniques today.
