heh, crowdsourcing nut, good answer :P
Sean Ammirati said:
hey I thought it was good :)
Dan Rockwell said:
its a long shot question lol
Dan Rockwell said:
turk is probably a bad example considering tasks are so cheap, but you wonder on other sites, farming your capabilities out on odesk etc
Dan Rockwell said:
In the downward job trend do you think crowdsourcing sites like mechanical turk, 99designs, etc will go up in use? Granted those are specific to set job capabilities but in general.. an onward trend?
Sean Ammirati said:
any more questions?
Dan Rockwell said:
I like the comment on researching your job target. I don't think people do this enough.
Dan Rockwell said:
good answer :)
Sean Ammirati said:
@charlie, agree - it helps to have your work background to be fair :)
charlie said:
@dan... Lots of anecdotes. When I quit my last job and announced it on my blog, I had 25 job offers. :)
Dan Rockwell said:
Are there any real patterns or evidence that support- having a blog or in the social network space actually helps you or hinders you?
Dan Rockwell said:
Are degree's still a benchmark requirement or is it experience? Has this changed at all?
Sean Ammirati said:

@Douglas -- It says you were disconnected. Do you want to try to re-dial in?
Doug Coleman said:

Doug Coleman said:
I agree with Marshall. i see that some of these companies that are laying people off are actually getting funds and have favorable outlooks.
Dan Rockwell said:
Np, just thoughts coming up as im listening here :)
Sean Ammirati said:
@ Dan - I'll pull this in a moment
Dan Rockwell said:
In the past 12 months weve seen a rise in blogs having job boards, so im curious if theres new trends emerging out of this jobless trend, whats next etc...
Dan Rockwell said:
You see any niche jobs forming up out of the job seeking environment? Specialists that help you hone your social media image or, help you research (social media powered job search) or specialists to help you craft your linkedin image etc?
