Introducing the Lake Nona Job Board – Free Job Postings All Week

admin — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 16:38:57 +0000

In anticipation for the projected new jobs in Lake Nona, and specifically in Medical City, NarcoosseeFL has launched the new Lake Nona Job Board. There’s not much there now, as we launched the site only a few hours ago, but we feel this job board will serve as the first place job seekers and employers will go to find or fill jobs.

For the first week, we are offering 3 free job postings to all employers. If you have a position to fill, visit the job board, and create your listing. When it asks you to pay, just close out of the window, and we’ll waive the fee. The job listing will remain live for 30 days, at which time you can renew for $30 for an additional 30 days.

We hope to add a place for applicants to post their resumes, but that may end up somewhere on the regular NarcoosseeFL site.

So let’s assume that you already know about the navel-gazing uses of Twitter—the aspects of Twitter that most people criticize when they complain about the site. Discounting Twitter altogether because you think it’s ridiculous that people tweet about what they had for breakfast is like claiming that email is useless because of forward chains. It’s a mistake, and you’d be missing out on a great tool if you let that put you off Twitter completely.

Twitter is as useful as you make it. In fact, Twitter does several very worthwhile things better than any other tool.
