Miscellaneous

  • What is JibberJobber.com? Is it a job search tool? Is it a networking tool? It is more like a personal relationship manager that allows you to do everything you need to do to manage a job search and optimize your network relationships - for the duration of your career! JibberJobber was designed by Jason Alba during his first real job search beginning January 2006. Frustrated by the lack of real tools for job seekers, he decided to move forward on a tool that allowed a job seeker to manage and organize a job search. This is a free resource but requires registration.
