SDU-T tries to win against Craigslist
Why go to a newspaper site to find/post job listings when Craiglist is easy and free? Localization and interactivity is the answer at the San Diego Union-Tribune.
SignOnSanDiego.com, the U-T’s site, is doing something completely innovative and brilliant– an interactive job fair.
The job fair, dubbed Mega Jobs, has a motto of: “Go to work. Look busy. Find a new boss.”
While most online job fairs is just a list of links, Mega Jobs features:
- Live recruiter chats
- “Meet the recruiter” videos
- Expert resume critiques
- Speaker session podcasts
- Resume posting/searching
The entire process of looking and learning about jobs can be done from home, from Starbucks, from work — anywhere. It’s free to participants and easy to access. Localization just might be the only way to win over Craigslist job classifieds.
