If you are a job seeker and are looking for a way to organize your job search efforts make sure you check out JibberJobber. They have been around for a few years and have helped a ton of people. I have spoke with their founder several times, Jason Alba, and have to say he is a great guy!
So what do they do?
JibberJobber was designed by Jason Alba during his first real job search beginning January 2006. After having a successful career in IT and business strategy, Jason found himself in the job market, which was supposedly a “job seeker’s market.”
Jason quickly found that a job seeker’s market does not mean the job search will be easy or short. Frustrated by the lack of real tools for job seekers, he decided to move forward on a tool that allowed a job seeker to manage and organize a job search.
As the months passed, and as Jason learned the importance of networking, he incorporated a major networking piece into JibberJobber. This has shifted its focus from a tool just to be used during one job search into a tool to be used to manage job transitions during your entire career.
So what is JibberJobber? Is it a job search tool? Is it a networking tool? It is more like a personal relationship manager that allows you to do everything you need to do to manage a job search and optimize your network relationships – for the duration of your career!
The JibberJobber team has grown and includes experts that are dedicated to helping you make the most of your career.
If you want to learn more about JibberJobber you can:
- Listen to a podcast interview (about 40 minutes) with Jason, by Peter Clayton. Peter is the leader in podcast interviews in the employment space.
- Read a rather comprehensive blog post by Dave Mendoza, expert recruiter and consultant.
- Read (and subscribe to) Jason’s blog, found at http://www.JibberJobber.com/blog
Looking for an interesting company in Pittsburgh that hires creative types? Check out their web site for more details and future hiring opportunities.
What do they do?
Children constantly look for new experiences as they grow and change. This search led us to our mantra, “Something new every day.” It is a salute to Fred Rogers, the Pittsburgh legend who dedicated his life to making the world better for children. The success of the studio depends not only on our ability to adapt and change to the needs of our market, but also on our creativity and continued devotion to novel entertainment.
It was through this sentiment that Electric Owl Studios was founded in 2007. Spun out of Carnegie Mellon University’s Entertainment Technology Center we have evolved into a full-service interactive technology firm. Our original project, the Kids Interactive Creation Kiosk (K.I.C.K.), a creativity center developed to help alleviate children’s fears and anxieties when visiting the doctor, is currently in hospitals on three continents and growing. Whether developing children’s entertainment, fantasy sports games, or custom software, we build creativity and exploration into every application we design.
Located: 6101 Penn Ave, Suite 103, Pittsburgh, PA 15206

Our Diversity Dinnerviews took place last night at the Rivers Club downtown. And what a night it was! We had about 100 job seekers having dinner with 20 tech companies from around the Pittsburgh region. We partnered with the Western PA Diversity Initiative and Vibrant Pittsburgh to make this night a success. The night was sponsored by PNC and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s Technology Development Center.
Candidates were pre-selected by employers to meet over dinner, kind of like a pre-interview. Candidates registered in advance, then we sent the resumes to the employers for them to choose who they wanted to eat with. Each candidate was assigned three companies for each course of the meal; salad, entree, and dessert. During each 30 minute course the companies would give the candidates and overview of their company and the candidates would get to give the companies an overview of who they were. Everyone was very pleased with the non-job fair atmosphere that all of us are tired of. The whole event last about three hours.
Here are some pictures.
