Be a "JobFox".


Yesterday in my usual journey into the world of the web. A couple times a week I try and find something new and exciting. As a general rule I find the usual, same and more of the same. To my surprise and pleasure I found a new site, JobFox. JobFox is new and I believe very new site, from former founder and CEO of Careerbuilder.com, Rob McGovern . This site is similar to the current job hunting sites but different in many great and valuable ways. They have a new job fit engine that matches you with employers on The ten dimension of a Good Fit Job (sm). Along with you being able to create a very comprehensive profile and being able to see who is looking into your profile. Another great thing is the experience map that is put together that shows your experience on a map for employers to view. You also get for free [don't know how long] to take a questionnaire that takes about fifteen minutes. It then takes all your answers and creates a report called the "Savilleconsulting Wave". This report gives a breakdown of your personality and how you work. Mine fit me perfect, almost scary perfect. So if you are on the hunt you should consider JobFox.

The Verb is in!

Back when I started this company I went with the address you see above. A site with a verb in the URL. I had read an article from Seth Godin speaking about websites having verbs in them was going to be the way to go. I listen to the things Godin says, he is a genius. I went with it and now a year later it is amazing how many websites are popping up all over the place with verbs in the URL. I could copulate a list here but it would be long. My suggestion is that if you are in the process of creating a website before you buy your domain consider putting some action in it. It can set you apart from the herd.

Home Grown Marketing


This is a term that was grown out of some of my marketing Ideas. Home Grown Marketing is a more simple and targeted form of marketing we are going to start offering. Rather than having a campaign with a massive radius and an attempt at reaching mass demographics of potential consumers. Home grown is more pin pointed to a specific demographic and area. With this you can try and reach specific people with your story. Still giving them all the tools to tell you story just with a more concentrated dose. Like watering your garden. So if you have a home grown story you want to tell get in touch with us.
