Rehabcare Launches First Podcast

I'm clearly a big fan of blogs, but I'm also an expert in other social media tools, which is why I was just pleased as punch to see my client, Rehabcare, launching their first podcast?

It's good marketing, because it's downloadable to the iPod for their college audience, but more important, they did it on their own.  Why am I excited that a client did something without me?  It means they were learning when we were training, and it means their success is assured.

Congratulations, Rehabcare.  Their first podcast:

Our first venture into the world of podcasting is somewhat entertaining.  Why?  Because not only does it deal with physical therapy, as one might expect, but it's an outline of clinical practice guidelines for using the Nintendo Wii. Coupling the ipod and the Wii what more could any college student want? It's every wired students dream!

KC Recruiters, Learn How To Use Facebook To Make $$$

I'm doing a webinar on how to use Facebook to make money.  May 21st, I'll be hosting a live webinar on Facebook recruiting through hireability. The session is called,

Facebook Recruiting:  A Live Demonstration of Hiring Inside Facebook by Jim Durbin, the Social Media Headhunter.

The explosion of Facebook as a social networking tool is challenge and a mystery to recruiters.  Unlike LinkedIn Plaxo, Facebook users aren't looking to be contacted in a search for jobs.  They certainly don't want to be headhunted, until they're ready.  Jim Durbin, a social media expert takes a look at Facebook from the eyes of an experienced staffing professional, and provides live, actionable training on how to use Facebook to increase placements.

In a session that combines sourcing, contacting, and referral generation, Mr. Durbin shows recruiters how to navigate the tricky waters of social networking.

The event is a paid webinar - the cost is $89, and it will be 1:30 p.m. EST/10:30 a.m. PST, and will cover sourcing, filtering, connecting, reference checking, and referrals in Facebook.  Most training sessions are full of theory - this webinar will be a walkthrough of screens and search terms on an actual job search.

There'll be Cross-promotion at socialmediaheadhunter and my other recruiting blogs Charlotte, Seattle, and Stl Recruiting, as well as the social networks  and social media circles.  If you announce the event on your blog, be sure to send me an e-mail, and I'll link to you from this PR5 blog.
