You're a Shining HireFriday All Star: That's What You Are!

The people who participate are the heart and soul of the HireFriday Community. I am a mere moderator, a community manager, and founder, but it’s the job seekers, and my career development colleagues who make HireFriday the special community that it is.

HireFriday is a way to reach out to one another’s followers. It’s as Chris Brogan says, “a way to connect job seekers to jobs, people and resources.” While we don’t fancy jobs in the twitter stream, we welcome them on our facebook page, and linkedin group. Tonight’s HireFriday All-Stars Show on blogtalkradio will feature some of my favorite colleagues, volunteer leaders, and job seekers. All the lines will be open, and I expect a free for all discussion, rather than the structured interview format that I typically employ for Compassionate HR.

There are so many career development experts who are going to be on, and rather than name drop, I’d prefer you tune in tonight, or catch the show free on ITunes, or in the blogtalkradio archives. Soon, I will have a new website completely devoted to HireFriday. It will be a place where we will have both structured, and unstructured discussions. There will be premium benefits for HireFriday website members. I plan on offering my book, e-book, and training module materials that will move your job search forward. I will interview the best and brightest career development professionals, and it will be the launch pad for my videos, and webinars. I wanted to give you a glimpse as to where the HireFriday Community is going.

All I want to do is make an honest living Obviously, I’m not going to get rich doing this work. That’s not the point. I am 52 years old. I had to make an executive decision how I want to spend the rest of my life. All signals led to this: helping job seekers accelerate their re-employment by providing leading edge tools, skills, and innovative ways to harness the web for their online job search. In addition, I will offer my boots on the ground approach to a strategic job search for real-life networking encounters. I’ll be like the ad-agency for job seekers, extolling their strengths, knowledge, and abilities to the HR and Recruitment Community.

Every now and then, a woman has to stand up for what she believes in, and follow her path. This is the path of my heart, and I trust I will help put a lot of people back to work, and empower them to follow their dream. This is my quest. I actually don’t care how much money I make. So long as I can put a roof over my head, and help others while doing so, I will be happy.

Thank you for being a part of my career journey. I pray that I may be a part of yours.

Sincerely,

HR Margo Rose
feel free to get linkedin with me.
Founder & CEO of HireFriday
