Dog Food Anyone?
In the spirit of Web 2.0’s “power to the people” attitude, I am going to try a little test. After listening to half a dozen people tell me — ok bitch at me — to try this I have finally acquiesced. My agency is hiring PR people at all levels. In support of eating our own dog food and washing it down with our own KoolAid, I am posting the ad on this blog to see what type of response it gets. I didn’t like the idea of using my blog for anything like this, but I’m over it. A large chunk of my audience is in the PR industry, so my hope is it will have laserlike reach. Pass it around if you know anyone interested. Finding a terrific hire through a blog post would make a great story. You know us PR freaks…it’s all about the story. Rock on!
Here is the ad:
Looking for PR pros who want to get paid to work in Web 2.0 world. One stipulation: must recognize a ”tweet” isn’t a bird, a “wall” isn’t a Pink Floyd song, ”poked” isn’t perverted and a “podcast” isn’t fishing on a lily pad.

Kel- Nice idea!
Do you know Aaron, Jim and the folks at Mzinga? They did the same thing a few months ago with a untraditional approach to hiring- no resumes, no phone calls, no emails, just activity through facebook, linkedin and more.
Check out his blog here. http://www.mzinga.com/en/Community/Blogs/Aaron-Strout/Hiring-in-a-2.0-World/

Kel, saw your tweet about being in South Boston
The folks at Mzinga are doing great things- they know all things community…
and we were *crushed* that you didn’t pay us a visit
US News World Report actually did a story on Aaron’s blog post too (http://tinyurl.com/6bwzz7)
Look forward to seeing/hearing what happens!

Okay…
A. Love the humor! (…and I shouldn’t be surprised that this ad is crazy well written.)
B. You’re moving to Boston (AND opening an office Seattle!!!!) Hello? Very cool.
C. You get mad points for posting your cell #.

sonciary,
a) my kids would say you’re enabling me by thinking i’m funny.
b) way cool. good reason to get you the heck out of manchester for a meeting, followed by a dinner in the city.
c) so far i have not seen any abuse, although i’m sure the dumpster divers haven’t seen it yet cause they’re too deep in the bowels of a trash pile.
