Belgian web developer giving away iPod for job leads

CareerHub just posted this about one job seeker who will give an iPod to any who helps him land a job. Talk about creativity in job hunting!

I often talk about the ways in which the Web is changing job search, but I don't think I've ever seen a better example than Tijs Vrolix, a Belgian web developer who is currently looking for work.

Tijs is asking site visitors to help him find a job by letting him know of any vacancies that might suit him. In exchange, he's awarding an iPod Shuffle to the person who ultimately helps him find a new job.

Designer creates killer site & blog

Gotta love this job seeker's web site and blog. Jess3.com. As a designer he displays his work, his resume and writes about his goals. It's cool, hip and well done. If I were an employer looking at it, I'd be impressed.

Owens Bloggers - MBA's that blog


This is a great concept for anyone in grad school. Well done!

This site is designed to give prospective Vanderbilt Owen Graduate School of Management students a peek into the lives and thoughts of people currently in the program.

This is an uncensored, unedited look at lives of a group of MBA and MSF students. We aren't some marketing project cooked up by the admissions team; we're honestly a group of people that want to share what it's like to be in the Vanderbilt MBA program.

We have a team of nearly a dozen independent Bloggers. To navigate the individual Blogs you can select from the most recent posts below or from the list of Bloggers to the left.

Clint James, soon to be graduate blogger, writer

I got an email yesterday from a student editor who works at Experience. He wanted to link to some of my content which of course I agreed to. But his email caught my eye for another reason.

His email signature.

Clint is a job seeker who 'gets it'. His email signature is a great personal marketing tool. Every student should follow his lead. And so, I'm presenting him with the job search marketing tactic award of the month.
