Web 2.0 creates a niche for a new semantic web agent to pick the best of the best of worldwide conference podcasting. What a great idea from a Bruno Giussani's article about a new trend in our digital life:

Great speech after great speech for free

This burgeoning of conference podcasting worldwide suggests a few thoughts:

* One: great ideas and knowledge are now shared freely as never before, available for people to use and share: I've heard of teachers using talks as part of their syllabus; corporate managers burning them on CDs and giving them to their staff or using them during team retreats; etc.
* Two: all of those conferences seem to be doing it for the same reason: TED believes "in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world"; Pop!Tech's Zolli (quote above) talks about "harnessing the power of visionary ideas" to "build a better world"; LIFT's goal is to "connect people (...) and propel their conversations into the broader world to improve life and work".
* Three: the multiplication of conference videos may open a niche for a meta-curator role, picking the best of the best.

National Job Fair: Learn the Essentials

The National Job Fair & Training Expo
September 14 and 15, 2005 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre
Photo: © Liudmila Cherniak

We started this Pursuit of Employment's e-venture after our visiting The National Job Fair & Training Expo (NJF&TE) two years ago.

This 'Ultimate Recruitment Event!' is the largest in the Ontario job and career fair industry with a multimedia advertising campaign of over $350,000 in value.

But only a couple of bloggers write about their job fairs' experience.
To launch a successful career with a blog, it's better to write celebrity gossip, or to criticize mainstream media, or to set up political columns, or to create sports chat, or to do all of the above.

See you at The National Job Fair & Training Expo 10th-Anniversary Edition in Toronto.

April 3 and 4, 2007

Tuesday, April 3, 2007: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Wednesday, April 4, 2007: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Metro Toronto Convention Centre
North Building, Exhibition Hall C
255 Front Street West
Toronto, Ontario M5V 2W6

On my list to learn:

The Public Presentation Area
Presentation No. 5 - 3:00 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.
Keynote speaker: LINDA LEADERDALE, Columnist and Financial Editor, THE TORONTO SUN
Title: How to Get That Job
Brief description: Linda Leatherdale, award-winning financial editor and columnist for The Toronto Sun, is a regular commentator on business, political and personal finance issues. A believer in advocacy journalism, she has led highly-charged campaigns on the GST, the high cost of credit cards and bank services changes, government fiscal policy, and writes regularly on taxation as well as real estate, consumer and small business issues. Linda also stages popular award-winning seminars on retirement planning and real estate, and has made appearances on television and radio.
_________________________________
National Job Fair on tap

We all know where the good-paying jobs are: In government, where 34,000 Ontario civil servants and employees, who work at Crown corporations, hospitals, municipalities, colleges and universities earn more than $100,000 a year.
That's up 24% from 2005.
Many of them earn twice that amount if they're lucky enough to work for hydro or the scandal-ridden Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp.
Meanwhile, many small businesses complain they can't find workers to fill job vacancies.
At the same time, immigrants with skills can't find jobs.
So, to hear about where the jobs are and how to break down the job barriers, come out to the National Job Fair at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I'm speaking there at 3 p.m. Tuesday.

Society of Internet Professionals™: SIP at the CareerDoor Job Fair: Job Board Launch Change Management Seminar and More...

This is a Job Fair 2.0 - NEW Recruitment Vehicle for HiTech Professionals

Co-founder and CTO, Chuck Mariotti, says “As an IT Professional myself and co-founder, it was important to me that our events offered a more dignified and valuable experience for IT Professionals than career fairs of the past. We had to have ways to allow for one-on-one scheduled interviews and value-added educational and networking opportunities as well. We are really looking to partner with the HiTech community and the organizations that service them – that is what makes us stand-out!”

CareerDoor Inc. HiTech Career Fairs:

Finding it hard to get an interview... tired of your resume not being
found. Job seekers can now finally secure interviews with hiring
managers giving you a chance to demonstrate you have the skills and
capabilities to tackle the position offered. Our HiTech targeted
career fairs enable face-to-face meetings between job seekers and
employers, helping them both to quickly identify employment fit.

Citizenship 2.0: Five Good Ideas

Five Good Ideas' Page

Register now for 2007 Five Good Ideas sessions

Five Good Ideas
Building Essential Management Skills for Successful Community Organizations
2006-2007 Series

The management of nonprofit organizations is a complex and unique task, made all the more challenging by the resource limitations that many of the GTA's nonprofit organizations find themselves battling.
Five Good Ideas is a lunch and learn program where industry or issue experts discuss powerful yet practical ideas on key management issues facing nonprofit organizations. The sessions are most useful for management staff and board members at small and mid-sized nonprofits.
Each expert presents five practical yet strategic ideas and explores with the audience how these ideas can be translated into action. At the end of each session, participants self-organize in small groups and continue the discussion to generate the best and most relevant of all ideas. The "good ideas" are published on our website as a lasting resource tool for nonprofits.

These is an upcoming session:

Citizenship 2.0
with Anil Patel, Executive Director, Framework Foundation
Wednesday, February 14, 2007 - 12:00 to 2:00 PM

Today, many active community leaders argue that no single sector – public, private or nonprofit – is capable of solving our modern day challenges on its own. A new dialogue is needed, and a more powerful focus on citizen involvement is required to collectively address these issues. Anil Patel will provocatively explore the role that volunteerism plays in the context of the ‘greater good’. Anil’s talk will unveil his newly coined concept of Citizenship 2.0, a more holistic approach to the challenges and opportunities relating to civic responsibility through the lens of volunteerism. He will present an interconnected core set of principles that focus on how to maximize a citizen’s contribution in the community over the long-term relative to their capacity to give.

TURNING OUT TO TALK YOUNG PHILANTHROPY AT THE FRINGE

Anil Patel, Director and Co-Founder of the Framework Foundation, an organization that advocates volunteerism through creative initiatives, suggested that giving doesn’t have to be an “either-or” choice. Donating time rather than money is a worthwhile compromise. For every $1 spent in traditional fundraising campaigns, only $2 is generated. For every $1 spent on volunteerism efforts, $7 in benefits is generated. By encouraging what Samir Khan of D-Code, a strategic marketing firm, calls the “participatory instinct,” both the donor and organization benefit.

torontoarts


Anil Patel, co-founder and Executive Director of the Framework Foundation said that:

“The Working Group has developed a very impressive modelling process that has exceeded the expectations of Framework Foundation. Framework Foundation is a small but growing organization with limited experience and skills in systems design. The Working Group was essential in making Framework Foundation a big hit with our volunteers, partner volunteer agencies and key-stakeholders. I would recommend the Working Group to all other NGOs looking for information technology/information management solutions."

Toronto: National Job Fair: Blog + Search

The second day of the National Job Fair & Training Expo is taking place today at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

We were glad to find on the blogosphere a post Employment in Canada: National Job Fair - Toronto, April 19-20 2006 - an inspirational invitation to visit this very well organized career event. Welcome aboard, Tina and Mario.

Our joint venture "The Pursuit of Employment" was started at the last Job Fair as an open platform of searching for some meaningful options on the Canadian job market as a part of the flat global market of XXI century. Liudmila's notes from the National Job Fair 2005 are here >>.

One more career event is coming to Toronto on May 11, 2006 - the 3rd edition of the Adventa Job and Career Expo. Madeline Ziniak, VP Station Manager, Rogers OMNI Television said in a press-release:

“as more and more companies are realizing the advantage and positive results in reflecting an ever changing society in their work force, the Adventa Job and Career Expo provides the resources, the potential talent and the tools needed to achieve such an objective”.
