My friend Angela Copeland of Copeland Coaching released a new podcast today, and it is a must-listen if you are looking for a job or think you might be looking soon. Angela got an interview with Glassdoor.com, the Webby Awards #1 “Best Employment Site,” and specifically with Scott Dobroski, Career Trends Analyst. Scott shares great insights on how to perform salary negotiation, how to determine if a company is the right place for you, and how to level the playing field in your job search. He talks a lot about how Glassdoor.com offers salary data that allows people to really know how much they’re worth. You can listen here, or download it for free on iTunes by searching “Copeland Coaching Podcast.”
Angela is a Downtowner who performs one-on-one career coaching and who writes the “Career Corner” weekly article for the Memphis Daily News. She releases a new podcast every Tuesday morning, so if you listen and like what you hear, be sure to check iTunes or her website, CopelandCoaching.com, for new episodes.
I saw on Holly’s blog that there is a petition to bring Google Fiber to Memphis. You can sign it here.
This next item is not Downtown news, but still might be of interest to my readers. There is a free concert at Minglewood Hall this evening, with Moon Taxi and Wild Club. The event is presented by Budweiser, and here’s the information you really want to know… there’s free beer. That’s right, free beer. Apologies for the last-minute notice, but I didn’t find out about this until mid-afternoon, too late to get into the lunchtime post.
Change of plans. Leading off at the Goose tonight. Time for a PBR.
