Dear Readers,
I’m pleased to announce that we joined the Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce this month and became part of a 175-year old tradition. Now we hope to be listed as part of the workforce development for Mobile County. Here’s the link: [2] http://www.mobilechamber.com/default.asp. As you may know, we’re also part of a 150-year old tradition of the federal government by establishing our nonprofit organization as a tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) charity. Even though we have a crazy name, we’re slowly becoming established in society.
Unfortunately, unless you know what your looking for, you won’t be able to find us on the Membership Directory, as it’s set to access the list from search words. That’s odd that nonmembers can’t see the complete list of members all together. Fortunately, we’ll be listed in next year’s edition of The Business View, as well as their Membership Directory and Buyer’s Guide.
We never received any funding to pay for this membership, so my husband and I paid for it. As aforementioned, we want to reach out locally on the Gulf Coast to provide our reliable job-related resources. We use social media to share employment opportunities, transitional skill training, and career advice. Additionally, we address the big picture of unemployment by providing mental health and financial resources. Our Web sites receive 5000 visitors a month, but I can tell by the geographical statistics that our neighbors on the Gulf Coast aren’t using our site.
To date, our professional Twitter account has 555 followers: [3] http://twitter.com/Broke4Jobs. I’m excited about some of our latest followers: the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, Inc. (TESOL), Talented Alliance of Part-Time Professionals (TAPP), and MinnesotaJobs.com. These are just a few of the great resources on Twitter.com. Visit our resourceful twitter lists @Broke4Jobs: US jobs, international jobs, internships, military, and disabilities.
Our Web site provides 21 pages of reliable resources for unemployed veterans, persons with disabilities, displaced workers, exoffenders, as well as employers:
