ASQ 0502 JobSeekers

To the Jobseekers members:

With the beginning of the new ASQ program year, there will be a number of changes being implemented for the JobSeekers program.

The webpage for the program has been revamped, turned into a full blog format and will be used to provide Job Information, the Employee resource information, Articles, an interactive Calendar of Events  as well as Job Postings.

Why is this being done ?

• Some people do not like providing their email addresses to Yahoo

• Some people have requested that jobs be posted on the website, so they do not need to download the full packet or go to/belong to the Yahoo groups.

• No email list or memberships will need to be maintained.  But, the plan is to have subscriptions for email notifications to implemented.

• Ultimately it will be easier for the person running the Jobseekers program to add jobs to the site, and to keep the members informed of various programs, etc.  It will also be easy for other personnel to assist the current JobSeekers Chair with the JobSeekers program.

• Emails for the Career Fairs are only sent out “every once in a while”, so updates to the Career Fairs calendar will be immediate and available for everybody to view/use.

What will happen to the Yahoo Group ASQBaltimoreJobseekers

• At this time, the Yahoo Group / email list will remain in effect, running concurrently with the Jobseekers packet, and the new web site.

What will happen in the future ?

• At this time, I forsee moving from the Yahoo group mailing list being the primary Jobseeker communication and using the Jobseekers web blog to keep members (and anybody else) up to date on the Jobseeker information.  The Jobseekers packet might also be reduced to simply the general information and web links or removed completely.

• The Yahoo Groups will remain in effect, in case the new situation does not work out.  They will only receive a cursory email notifying them of the existence of the new web blog and be directed to go to it to get JobSeeker information.

What if I have any further questions/comments ?
