Smalls wins in community management efforts

Tackling community management and employee engagement

September 28, 2015 by Justin

When managing a technology platform that serves thousands of people, it’s challenging to address all the variables that come into play when trying to improve overall engagement, much less general adoption and use. How does one identify where the gaps are today?How can you dissect the current user attitudes that get to the root of their real problem?  How can you inspire a fresh perspective and reignite interest? These are big questions that left me somewhat dumbfounded. But then I had the […]

A dash of PR

June 29, 2014 by Justin

When I graduated from college, I could have sworn I wanted to go into public relations. I had interned at Shank Public Relations my final semester of college and got to work on a lot of great accounts, including the city’s public school administration efforts and several programs for Eli Lilly. I realized that I had a knack for writing, writing quickly and being able to find the angle in the story. Little did I realize that without any solid […]

Job seeker advice from TheWorkBuzz.com

May 24, 2014 by Justin

Since I started with the marketing team as the social media specialist, I’ve written many pieces on job seeker advice for our editorial channels. While you may have seen articles published through MSN or AOL or CNN, most pieces published to our sites – CareerBuilder.com and TheWorkBuzz.com. With those audiences, I could give more of a personalized style. My goal is to be a job seeker advocate, a person who gives our readers a dose of truth paired with realistic advice from a […]

A gossipy chin wag.

May 1, 2014 by Justin

Upon moving to Chicago in 2010, I procured work as a celebrity gossip editor and blogger. Yes, like a Perez Hilton. But far more endearing, attractive and poor. I worked for a site called SocialiteLife.com, which had been newly acquired by the Buzz parent company (they also own Buzzfeed.com – a site that no one knew of then but today you cannot escape in your Facebook feed). For about nine months, I sat at my computer at home and wrote […]

Writing for MSN Careers

February 8, 2013 by Justin

Since I started with CareerBuilder, I’ve been writing content for both their B2B and job seeker blogs, The Hiring Site and The Work Buzz, respectively. In addition to getting to show a bit more flair in content on those channels, I’ve also been fortunate to write career-related advice for one of CareerBuilder’s largest partners, MSN. A quick search on Google will pull in my published articles there (but I’ve taken care of that search for you right here!), but I figured I’d […]
