SEO is Not Magic. A Do-It-Yourselfer’s Guide to “Findability”. Video Presentation from Office Space Coworking’s BizCamp 2009.
SEO – Search Engine Optimization is a tricky subject. So many people claim to be experts and there’s a LOT much information out there. So it’s hard to know what’s what.
We were fortunate enough to have Jason Jividen, New Media Strategist at Sanctuary Media Group, break down the nuts and bolts of the SEO for attendees of last year’s BizCamp.

18 Interview Success Tips
In advance of her June 11 session, Resume Reality: Is Your Resume Keeping You From the Job You Want?, Heidi Brown offers these 18 tips to a successful interview.
To learn more or register for the this special event — check out: http://resumereality.eventbright.com
1. Know what you’re going to wear before the day of the interview. Try it on, be sure it’s clean, buttons replaced, ironed, shoes are shined. All this shows you care about your image. And alleviates last minute problems the day of the interview.
2. Show up at an appropriate time, only about 5 to 10 minutes early. Too early looks weird and as if you can’t manage your time. And obviously too late looks like you can’t get somewhere on time. You may want to drive to the location the day before to be sure you know where it is, where to park, any construction or detours that may slow you down, etc. This alleviates stress and frustration the day of your interview.
3. Know the name of the person you’re actually interviewing with.
4. Be nice to the receptionist. Sometimes employers will go out and ask how you treated the receptionist. (We actually did this at my company!)
5. Turn off your cell phone. The employer doesn’t want you to have interruptions during the interview.

Cool Jazz by EHG - Elemental Hard Groove
For a couple dozen business professionals that dug their cars out of the prevailing snowdrifts from the Akron “Storm of the Century” to attend “Live Jazz, Wine and Casual Networking” last Thursday night at Coworking Office Space, it was nova networking.
After the third jam set at the end of the evening, we asked Eriq Troi, featured trio member of Elemental Hard Groove (EHG), what he called his sound. After some careful consideration, he said, “You choose: Innovative, cosmic, urban rock ‘n soul, jazz fusion.” The guy running the live webcam off his laptop shouted, “How about remote “Santana-esque?” And the woman calling up our website on her Blackberry to see just how Eriq Troi really spelled his name, shouted, “It’s sahh-weet.” Not so sure about their take.
