KGW has a story tonight on using social media to find jobs and they had me in the studio to talk about @pdxjobs. They had a couple other Portland twitterers on as well. One has been in interviews as the result of twitter and one has found a job through twitter (hopefully through @pdxjobs!) It airs tonight at 11. Hope you enjoy & I hope I look good 
(Update: Story & TV/video segment)
In the meantime, we are working hard to make this site useful to you.
Features we will be adding shortly after the jump…
- Submit Job forms
- Job search advice and career advice (using traditional methods and social media)
- Networking events and job fairs
- Full listings of Jobs here (in addition to the tweets)
- More stuff that I haven’t thought about yet, but you can suggest below in the comments
Please Note: PDXJobs is committed to helping connect people with jobs. To that end we do not charge for any Non-Profit or volunteer job listings, we also permit local businesses with less than 3 employees to list without fee. We do however charge agencies or larger companies to list their jobs here.
Nice picture. I didn’t get to go into the studio. I am excited to see my interview and everyone else’s tonight too.
Thanks again for helping me out.

Great idea, Julian. Congrats on your KGW appearance. Sorry I missed it!
@CarriBugbee
You didn’t miss it. They just played a preview, but there will be a longer segment tonight at 11 (and maybe on Live at 7 as well).
Julian, is there a U-Tube of your segment last night? I thought it was very helpful & would like my friend to see it. Thx in adv

Nice work Julian! Hopefully newcomers to social media will embrace it and use it to help them find a job.
Renee,
I don’t think it is on Youtube, but it is online. I made an update to this post with that info.
Thanks Kerry. More come every day it seems.
