Nice people saying nice things about TalentEgg

We’ve received some feedback recently that I wanted to share with you all.

The first is from a small company that recently ran a campaign on TalentEgg. Most of the employers we work with are large, multinational corporations, and so it’s so fantastic to hear that we were able to help a smaller organization meet their recruitment advertising goals!

From it’s exceptional customer service to it’s high-quality candidates, TalentEgg is a must for any small business looking for employment solutions

Women of Influence

The next quote comes from a student who recently applied to help contribute to the team and the site:

You may not know it but I’m a huge advocate of the company, an evangelist if you will. I met with a career counselor today and introduced her to TalentEgg; I had to surgically remove the smile off her face. She loved it, will be passing it on to faculty and thanked me for introducing her to the site. I appreciate how hard you guys are working and the sheer quality of work that’s being crafted.

…I think you guys rock and wish you success as you build TalentEgg into not just a service but a ‘necessity’ for all undergrads and graduates alike.

How can you not smile after reading that? 🙂 🙂 🙂

And as I write this, Hootsuite is telling me that two people tweeted really nice things about us:

@talentegg keep up the good work guys! your source is helpful to a lot of us 😉 I have a question to ask though…

Behind the scenes of a TalentEgg video shoot (kind of)

Yesterday afternoon we welcomed a design engineer in training from Ontario Power Generation to the Egg Carton for about an hour to shoot a video series for our upcoming Focus on Engineering (Sept. 20-24).

However, before he arrived, I had to configure the “set” to get it ready for the interview. I asked Danielle (editorial assistant) and Daisy (marketing intern) to act as host and guest while I adjusted the camera and the lighting. And recorded them.

Hilarity ensued.

Tricky Tricksters at TalentEgg and the Egg Farmers of Ontario

I checked the mail the other day and was surprised to find mail from the Egg Farmers of Ontario.

Turned out that some Tricky Trickster had signed me up for a special club. “What club could they have possibly signed you up for?”, you ask?

The Egg Farmers of Ontario Egg Lovers Club

As part of my membership, I received a book of Egg recipes, a note pad for all my egg-related groceries, and a welcome letter from the Egg Farmers of Ontario.

How can you join this club? It’s simple, click here.

Oh, and if you’re wondering who the comedian (tricky trickster) was – it was Danielle. Well played sir, and thanks for my membership.

(PS – we’re 68% of the way to HONEST EGG’s!!!!)

600 career articles, 60 videos, 100 contributors and more in 18 months

Anyone who knows me knows that the Career Incubator is my baby. Its creation and success has essentially launched my own entry-level career as an editor, and it has helped me learn and grow so much since it first hatched in February 2009.

This morning, I published the Incubator’s 600th article!!! It’s the first in a fantastic three-part series for international students who want to work in Canada (a small but important part of our audience), produced in partnership with the Canadian University Application Centre.

600 may seem like a strange milestone to some—why not 500, you ask? I’m not sure. 600 just seems like a lot of articles.

Back in November 2009, we reported that we had published 300 articles on the Incubator, which means we’ve doubled the number of articles since then!

More than 60 of those posts (a little more than 10%) also include video that we’ve produced in-house.

It probably goes without saying, but I’m so proud of our little online magazine. When Lauren and I first put it online and began recruiting contributors, I was still a fourth-year student at Ryerson University and I never imagined that, within 18 months, we would publish 600 articles and more than 60 videos, or that I would have worked with nearly 100 amazing student and new grad contributors.

I really hope the resources we’ve provided through it have been valuable for students and recent grads right across Canada (and beyond), and I’m so egg-cited about the content we’re currently producing to be published this fall!

If you have any feedback or suggestions for the Career Incubator, please leave them in the comments. I’d love to know what we’re doing horribly wrong and also what we’re doing that you love!

Now, just for fun, here are the Top 10 articles of all time (determined by number of pageviews):
