WebLabz

For Boomerz on the Cutting Edge

WebLabz is a Boomerz program that focuses on keeping you on the cutting edge regarding technology and Social Networking tools.  Boomerz offers hands-on, computer training workshops in all the Social Media including LinkedIn, Twitter, FaceBook, Websites, blogs, YouTube, etc. And what's more, we focus our attention on getting your site up and running DURING the workshop AND in walking you through the steps to make the site work hard for you - whether you are looking for work, wanting to expand your network, or increase your clientele and your business. Although these programs are open to both members and non-members, there is a significant discount for members.

Why do you need to do this now?

• Social Networking Media are the new Yellow Pages.  If you aren't listed, you don't exist as far as most consumers and employers are concerned.

• Many HR Directors and Hiring Managers take their top 3 resumes and research them on the web.  If you don't show up, your resume goes to the bottom of the pile.

• In this uncertain economy, it pays to develop your network while you are still employed!

• Of the top reasons employers cite for not wanting to hire baby boomers, the most common are their biases that boomers are not up-to-date with their computer skills, and either not able or not interested in learning new technology,  Learning these skills and having them as part of your resume will go a long way toward "de-branding" yourself from these biases.

• Social Media is by and large free, and can reach 10's or 100's of thousands of people quickly. Some businesses launch primarily with Social Networking Media: prospective customers are available and your market niche can be reached with a few clicks of the mouse.

In addition to Social Media Networking workshops, Boomerz partners with other organizations to get Members up to date on the more traditional computer skills - Word, Outlook, Excel, Access, etc.
