Post image for April Fools Day announcement (for real)

Google introduced Gmail on April Fool’s Day back in 2004 for 1000 users.

Today, on April Fool’s Day 2010, we at CareerTiger are launching a new set of services – obviously on a completely different scale :)

As you might know, most of last year we were involved in helping people successfully find jobs. This year, we are taking it to a completely new level – more engagement, more scale and even more acceleration.

We are introducing 3 new services:

Virtual JobPounce

The hugely successfully JobPounce sessions which contain innovative and smart techniques are now available for free. You heard it right – completely free. They are now available as online video, downloadable audio and also has online forums to interact with our career coaches.

Lightning Call

A new service to help folks that need immediate help – it could to prepare for a performance review or to edit a resume or even to get ready for an interview.

Black Belt

Is it a personal branded website? a slick new resume? a make-over of LinkedIn profile? or a new elevator speech?
Actually, all of the above. Black Belt is a complete, integrated series of sessions to build a phenomenal resume, LinkedIn profile, elevator speech and a shiny new personal website.

As these services go online starting tonight, we need your help to get the word out. Please join us on our facebook page where we also share career development tips on a daily basis.

Also, please feel free to spread the word, especially for Virtual JobPounce which is a free, innovative way for people to get their next job.

As always, we would like to hear back from you. How would you like us to serve you?
