Hi all,
Jobless Diva here.
Hopefully, you’re enjoying YaaZe.com’s updates and improvements and are still sending questions, comments or concerns my way. Those of you that have shared success stories about your job search, thank you! Those are my absolute favorite emails to read. Any members that need assistance setting up their profile so they can get noticed too, just email me.
My “Right Now” Tips For Getting Noticed:
- Include the services you offer on your profile. If you don’t fill out this box, employers can’t search for you. Also, YaaZe doesn’t limit you to just one service. If you’re a waitress, flame thrower, and skydiving instructor, be sure to put all three
skills down!
- Post images! Don’t be shy! It’s helpful for recruiters to put a face to a name and definitely makes you memorable. If you’re a designer or artist, post pictures of your work. A picture-rich profile truly helps you stand out.
- List your past experience. Copying and pasting the work experience from your resume into the ‘employment history’ box on your YaaZe profile takes moments and can be the defining factor in getting noticed by employers. Outlining your qualifications legitimizes you. Some employers may even feel comfortable hiring you on the spot!
- Make sure your
contact information is correct, especially your email address. If you have your information set to ‘private,’ make sure to check your messages
. You may have inquiries already and not even know it!
- Share your YaaZe page with existing contacts and any potential employers. Your individual profile can be found at http://www.yaaze.com/username
Add this weblink to your traditional resume, query letters or business cards to publicize your ePortfolio.
Despite the economy, there are job opportunities out there. Consider me and YaaZe.com your personal employment consultant. We may be in New York, but YaaZe’s spreading throughout the country.
As we grow, know that we’re thinking far beyond the scope of a typical employment or networking site. We’re here to pioneer the idea of ‘social employment
.’ This is a brand new concept and BIG news. Check out our latest press release below to learn more.
February 2009
- The next big name on the Internet is here: YaaZe.com.
Having originally launched in New York in January 2009 and now expanding to the entire U.S., YaaZe.com is a website utilizing Web 2.0 technology
to revolutionize the way people search for jobs and create trusted, local communities.
The site’s unique online ePortfolios
, which attracted 5,500 members in the first week of the site’s launch, make it possible for employers to target ideal candidates with greater precision than any other employment site. By incorporating factors like hours of availability, location by ZIP-code (NOT city), experience, interactive media and salary expectations/requirements, the amount of information obtained through a YaaZe.com search is in many ways equivalent to a one-hour interview
. This leaves little room for error when committing to meet a person face-to-face.
YaaZe.com is the first online employment site dedicated to pioneering Social Employment - the combination of trusted, local networks powered by a ZIP-code based search coalesced with a database of ePortfolios
encompassing interactive features above and beyond the scope of a tradition resume.This methodology makes a YaaZe.com search more twenty-times more precise than Craigslist.org and unlike Moster.com, allows members to communicate with one another directly in real time. The best part: YaaZe.com is FREE.
Although YaaZe.com has only been live for one month, its member database is growing exponentially day-by-day. YaaZe’s job seekers already boast over 500 different services offered for employers to search for. The advanced search capabilities and networking element of Social Employment on YaaZe.com saves both job seekers and employers’ valuable time by getting all the information they need immediately, upfront.
