We have been toying around with the ability to add “events” to JibberJobber so you can learn about networking opportunities, web-based learning opportunities, etc. You can see a list of events in a couple of places now and as this feature matures you should see it more.
An example is a personal branding teleseminar put on this Friday by JibberJobber Partner Beverly Harvey. You can see the event details here. This teleseminar is an introduction to personal branding and helps you understand that having a strong personal brand can help you attract the right opportunities to you. The call is an hour long and I wouldn’t miss it – Beverly is well regarded in the career space.
If you log into JibberJobber you’ll see the Action Item panel also includes a link to the event, like this:
Eventually this Event feature will mature… I have a list of things I’d like to see added, and the dev team is working on some of it… if you have any suggestions just let me know.
If you want to add your own event you can do that in the Tools drop down – just click on Add a Network Event.

Great idea for a new JJ feature! I look forward to learning about other networking events as well as sharing information about the one I facilitate.
It would be a great feature if there was a way to delete unwanted events… the home page is now useless to me. I have no way to remove the 3 events in Michigan that are now appearing… and who knows how many others by the time I log in again.
@Tom – thank you 🙂
@Nancy – I had the same thought… and something like a “don’t show these types of events”… on my skype there is an X that allows me to delete individual “conversations”… that’s probably what we’ll implement.. thanks for suggesting it.
Do you realize that people are placing interview appointments in this? Is there a disclosure that when you enter an event it’s global?
@Nancy – hm, interesting… I haven’t seen all the events that are live… but nothing should get posted live until it’s approved by one of us… I’ll check with my team to see what’s being approved…
