Job Search Assistance in Maricopa County: Help Out Your Fellow Alum
The UA/BPO is putting together a program to assist alumni in finding and securing employment, and we need your help.
We all know how tough it is to survive in today's economy, and even tougher to find gainful employment. We also know that the power of people to disperse this information is immense.
Collectively, we can help out our fellow alum who are in need to finding employment by forwarding on the resumes of alum who are seeking employment.
Opt-In: If you are interested in helping your fellow alum, please send us an email at UABPO@aol.com. Resumes we receive will be forwarded on a bi-monthly basis.
Need assistance finding employment? Send us your resume (Word or PDF) to UABPO@aol.com. Be sure to list in the subject line "Resume."
Need help putting your resume together? Helpful tips can be found at http://uabpo.blogspot.com/
Thank you for your continued support! Bear Down.

Do you want to learn more about Twitter and social networking?
Date: July 15th
Time: 12:00-1:00
Location: UA Alumni Phoenix regional office, 4001 North 3rd Street, Suite 120, Phoenix
Cost: FREE and lunch will be provided!
Do you want to learn more about Twitter and social networking? Please join your fellow UA Alums for lunch and a look inside the world of social networking. Amy Martin, Phoenix’s own Twitter expert will be on hand to discuss how you can use Twitter to build your brand or image. Amy is the mastermind behind ‘The Real Shaq’ and helped him get on Twitter.
Most recently, Amy spent three seasons with the Phoenix Suns developing their Digital Media platform and integrating new and existing marketing partner brands within all Suns digital channels. Such digital touch points include mobile marketing programs, official social networking forums, virtual websites and official team property sites.
Amy’s area of expertise involves layering social media strategies to create one cohesive digital brand universe. She has developed a proprietary formula to mix traditional digital measurement with social media metrics. Her most recent example of social media success is the growth of Shaquille O’Neal’s digital brand via Twitter implementing strategies such as “Random Acts of Shaqness” and “ShaqDay”.
Digital Royalty, Amy’s new business venture, focuses on digital integration and social media strategies to help brands and athletes build their digital universe.
Hosted by the University of Arizona Foundation and the University of Arizona Alumni Association
