New Media and getting your job. How to create opportunities you may not have thought of. Based on the teachings of David Perry and Kevin Donlin I am taking an interactive approach to the act of getting a job.

6. Plaxo is a great backup to Linked In
Message boards are great because you can
always become an expert on them!
If you become an expert then people will want to
be talking to you.
Remember this is a marathon and NOT a sprint.
This is hard to remember but good things come
from unexplained places
Volunteer your time and get involved
Blog, write about your strengths and your
interests, let everyone know what you enjoy, let
your network know who you are.

I can help you retain your lost RedWingsWorld members by doing a few simple tips and making RedWingsWorld profitable again!
Dear Mr. Roose,
My name is Jamie Favreau and I would like to be your next New Media Coordinator. I have demonstrated my abilities working with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I have learned
of the position through Shannon Paul and her blog and have spoke with her on several occasions. I am a passionate Red Wings fan who has been a member of Red Wings World
since 2002 and has seen the decline first hand of the memberships and I can tell you the assets you have with this website and why it should be maintained.
I have saved The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society thousands of dollars by obtaining copyrighted photos from GM for free. Usually you are charged for the use of the copyright and the
archivist involved.
They have made money through my use of MissionFish by adding it to their fundraising efforts with me pushing for them to be involved in it.
Created a blog which demonstrates my value and a presentation on how to add a strategy to an already existing project. Visit my blog to see what I have done
http://jamiefavreau.wordpress.com
I have almost 2000 followers on Twitter about half of them are hockey fans and some of them are Red Wings fans. I am a brand ambassador of your team and have been almost all of
my life
These are a few things I have done to add value to the work place. I look forward to speaking with you about how I can help you return Redwingsworld.com back to the form it was in
2002.
Thank you for your time and consideration and I look forward to contacting you in a few days.
Sincerely,
SIGN IN BLUE INK
Jamie Favreau
P.S. Here is what a contact of mine is saying about my work. “Jamie often positions herself in the role of quot;social media/PR student,quot; but she underestimates herself -- I find myself
learning more from her than she'll probably ever realize. Her dedication to the field, thirst for knowledge, and overall perseverance speak far beyond her work ethic -- these
things apply to Jamie in every respect, even her love for hockey. It's rare that you meet someone that truly IS passionate about everything they do, but Jamie is definitely one of
those people.”
