Thanks for contacting Jobster with your feedback.

While we do provide the option to upload a resume in .doc, .txt, or .pdf format to your Jobster profile, we don’t have a resume import function that can directly upload your information into your profile. We want to provide our customers with options that are a little different from the traditional resume format that is used by LinkedIn and some other websites (this is why we offer options such as tags and video resumes as part of the Jobster profile).

However, some people who use Jobster will want to upload information from their resume into a more traditional format, so I’ve passed your suggestion on to the relevant people in our company for their review.

Thank you again, for your feedback. We appreciate you using Jobster!

Warm Regards,

Seach in any city; search with no objective

QUESTION

Asked by “i_squeeze”

How to do a Job Search in no particular city?

I’m an Office Manager and Senior Executive Assistant with a current security clearance (secret) and military background. I want to search for a job, but in no particular city. How do I do that? Normally when job searching, you search for a job in a particular city. I just want to put my resume out there and see what feedback I get. Any suggestions? Thanks.

ANSWER

Dear “i_squeeze”:

Isn’t there an funny proverb about when you don’t have a destination any road is the right way?

As I understand it, you don’t have a geographic preference. And, just want to see what’s available?

Well, I’d suggest that you have to get a better objective in mind. Are you looking for a bigger leadership role or just a bigger executive to assist? I think you can “put yourself out there” in different ways to put your toe in the water.

Consider some strategies that are not “throwing up” your resume and seeing what sticks. Toastmasters, peer networking, and “never eat lunch alone” type activities. On the computer side, you can do Facebook, LinkedIn, and other sites that allow you to build a community of interest. On the personal side, there are blogs like Kent B’s that help you “build your brand”, Yahoo groups like MyLInkedInPower forum where you can connect to a diverse audience, and even my own modest “turkey farm” for some ideas.

I have a bunch of likes of interest below.

I think my answer is that you need an objective first.

Hope this helps. I’m interested how it works out for you. Drop me a note sometime. My blog may have helpful “stuff”.

My Plaxo Premium subscription ran out and I didn’t find out until I went to use it today. Argh! That’s a surprise.

JOBSEARCH: Networking by “birthday greetings”

Sunday, July 22, 2007

I send out a lot of Plaxo Birthday greetings. I don’t know if it makes a lot of difference, but it “feels” like a meaningful connecting type activity. As always YMMV!

WRITING: MV Project Chapter #1 done

Sunday, July 22, 2007

 

http://glcavalier.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/
the-true-penalty-of-procrastination/

GLanC’s post on procrastination made me realize that my BLOG2BOOK project went much better when I blogged about my progress or lack there of. So here goes. (P.S.: Thanks GLaneC for a need butt kick).

(Not prog-ress, but drag-ass!)

Announcing Writing Project #2 MV!!!

Chapter One is done and thru first revision.

I’ll be doing a roadmap shortly. Probably Tuesday.

I have a really lame cover art piece done with the MV map. Just have to superimpose the title on it.

I’m going to envision Lulu-ing it. But, I’m not planning to make a big deal out of maybe a copy for me and Mom. Frau can read my copy.

:-)
