Blog Post: ERE Expo includes an @Jobing announcement!

I attended  the 2009 ERE Expo for the Recruiting profession which was held at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood Florida, Spetember 9 - 11, 2009.   This was a specialized conference for anyone doing recruiting work. 

There was a large social media presence at the event with plenty of live blogging and tweeting going on.  You can find a summary of the tweet stream here.  Great reviews of the conference have been written by Jonathon Goodman, Leanne Chase , Sharlyn Lauby,  my amazing friend Stephanie A. Lloyd, Jason Buss,   Jason Buss,  another “Jason” – my buddy Jason Blais,  the swanky and eloquent  Jennifer McClure, and the always scintilating Laurie Ruettimann
