Announcing #MegaJobHuntChat (lineup and question schedule included)

Announcing #MegaJobHuntChat (lineup and question schedule included) 0 Flares 0 Flares Almost 10 months ago, Jessica Miller-Merell and I began Co-Moderating #JobHuntChat.  The lively community of Job Seekers, Resume Writers, Recruiters, HR Pros, and Career Coachs make it easy for Jessica (@blogging4jobs) and I  to put on the party each Monday night.  Simply put, without the community, #JobHuntChat would be nothing. What is #MegaJobHuntChat? While #JobHuntChat has reached historic numbers recently (300 chat participants and 2,000 Tweets), Jessica and I felt there could be a new way to bring the job search community together on Twitter.  We met up in Philadelphia a few weeks ago to strategize #JobHuntChat, and the result of our meeting was #MegaJobHuntChat. #MegaJobHuntChat is what it sounds like A Career Chat on Steroids.  Its planned to be a quarterly event on Twitter, with the first event scheduled  to be 8-10PM Eastern Time on Monday 12/6 (this coming Monday). There will be 6 Career Chats participating in the event, each given 20 minutes to discuss 2 questions.  Thats a total of 12 questions over 2 hours! Chat Lineup Question Schedule OK, so as I mentioned, there will be 6 chats, each with 20 minutes to discuss 2 questions.  Here are those chats and the questions theyve selected! *All times are Eastern Time * Check below the schedule for more information on each chat 8:00 8:10 #JobHuntChat Q1 Introduction Question 8:10 8:30 #CareerChat Q2 What is the most difficult part of networking? #CareerChat #MegaJobHuntChat Q3- How do you maximize your opportunity at a holiday party? #CareerChat #MegaJobHuntChat 8:30 8:50 #u30pro Q4 Generational Job Search TBD Q5 Generational Job Search TBD 8:50 9:10 #InternChat Q6 When shld I stop accepting internships only look 4 entrylevel jobs?
