After two weeks without any signs of life (I've been too busy coddling Owner) I decided to write my last post (or at least for now).
Why? To thank all who have been amigatitos mine and Owner, and incidentally to enlighten myself about why I decided to enter this world "social". First of all
miausorpresa comment I've been getting these days, as though to say nothing I continued to make friends. Thanks to Twitter FollowFriday this is my current status:
But hey, go to the mess.
about two months ago I was in a fairly complicated situation, but no more than that unfortunately are more than 4 million people in Spain.
I lost my job! What now? After a long time in the same company one would doubt fall ... what to do, where to go, I will serve for this, what have I done wrong, what is my strong point, and the difference ... and after this first feeling of frustration, helplessness and fear one gets down to work, but of course where do I start? I still working, so I can not make a more traditional job search but do we need? Do I want to go knocking on doors? Yes, I want to, but not physical. Then you discover what you like and gets to find and crawl in that direction.
This we know through the blog ... Internet job search ... There is much written about it! But the important thing, above all, it was clarified what I wanted in my life. I love communication, I worked on it, I discovered the social web and I jumped at it without a parachute into the work that I just finished ... well ... and how can I show? How am I different from the rest of the global world catlike?
And I was born. A Cat in Paro. A cuddly pet, sharing useful information on employment, sometimes amused and above all looking for work. This reminds me of the Advertising Festival Iberoamericano El Sol 2004 (yes, and sometimes also beat about the bush):
was born in Twitter. I was born in Facebook (also page). I was born in Blogger (central meeting point and information) and even LinkedIn , but being the first two the most important ways to relate.
on Facebook and Twitter I relied on contacts in Owner to make friends and supporters ... and the first week reached the mythical number 100 in both networks that encouraged me to continue working. Of course, I looked at people in the industry in my area of \u200b\u200bwork (and specifically Navarra Pamplona), and more or less get a reply. Also, I started sniffing around among other people but in other cities, are interesting in the social web. What was my surprise that in addition to follow some of the row, began to get requests from fans and friends ... and some relevant Owner that even surprised him. There
who discovered who was behind the cat-profile, who mistook me and some friends whom I said who he was (never hurts a little help), but yes, after the first week in order to test and moved the issue. The initial idea was to comment on each day (during the 15 days that I had in the previous work to say goodbye) what is making a stand, from the point of view catlike, to seek employment. Hence, there was always a post, their corresponding links and notes to Facebook and Twitter and especially to comment on in a fun, but useful (that do not know if I did, but he certainly tried as was my real everyday).
personally greeted all new feline friends commented to those that could be related to the world of employment or to provide me with a funny comment.
There were people who joined this kitten because they are interested in the life of a cat (lots of cats on Twitter for example!), I was funny photos, comments feline ... others for friendship, no doubt, and some to see what it was like to someone looking for employment. At bottom, each user was interested in some "ungatoenparo" and that's what matters: providing something of interest. Obviously you can not please all ... but in real life no-o = ^ ^ = (in fact tried ... kill a kitten because social life was more human than some Internet;)).
did not know if I really get a job through this route, but I knew that I would use it as a way of saying "hello, I'm unemployed" in a different way that was not taken as intrusive, and a different way of sending information of my working life who I wanted. Yet I have to say that there were three requests for my resume (well, or the Owner), and especially think that is strange when you think like a cat.
Most importantly, I've had good and I have a unique experience and results to count. Advice I received helped me, I friends advised me to "tweeted" a Eats & Twitts and everything!
course ... the result ... I have a job! In essence, this is like the mythical sentence on conventional advertising:
"I know half the money I spend on advertising is wasted. The problem is I do not know which half is"
So, if you know this helped me find a job, but I'm sure something did (and have good friends, of course). However, only some data to illustrate this minicampaña job seekers: Twitter
More Ad.ly
Facebook - profile
Facebook - page
(statistics that illustrate quite well the course of my life on the Net: birth - growth - stability)
And of course the blog:
As noted above the central point of information, but Facebook and Twitter as a reference.
Finally, only saying that the two views of the blog pages have been Owner Wanted MiauGracias and Tod @ s !
has been an honor to accompany you and feel accompanied in this task.
Thanks again and thanks from Owner!
If I continue in the nets ... enterareis you!
