Thanks to David Stegon for featuring Zippyjobs in his Capital Connection report. The article covers Vivek Kundra’s presentation and ends with a paragraph about Zippyjobs’ participation.
It was our first time at Capital Connection and we’ve really liked it as we were able to make some very good VC connections and meet some great entrepreneurs such as the founders of Dub.
We’re thrilled to report that Zippyjobs was featured on the Washington DC WUSA News Channel 9. Below is the video showing Jai and Jason’s interview with Mike Walter.
One of the reasons I enjoy working in the education field so much is the interaction with college students. Being around students makes me feel alive!
Two weeks ago, Jason and I were invited by NOVA Professor Green to listen to a marketing presentation by 3 honor students who chose Zippyjobs.com as their case study company. And what a presentation it was! Simply A-MA-ZING!
They surveyed students around campus, dissected the site and came back with some very constructive suggestions. Their basic message to us was that students are loving the site and that we must continue in our quest to serve the community by building the local job connection. The main negative point they had was the fact that the site requires a university email to create an account given that many students don’t use their university emails. We had a very interesting debate on that point using examples from other companies such as facebook which had used the same restriction in their early days…
Thank you to NOVA Professor Green and all his students from MKT 201 Section OO3N for all their hard work in making their class project on Zippyjobs.com and providing so much valuable feedback. We loved being part of your world and would love to come back at any time.
Did you know you could tap into university discretionary funds by joining their off-campus card programs? These are programs where universities allow students, faculty and staff to use “flex” funds at specific vendors on and off-campus. Some of DC’s hottest programs are:
- GWorld program at The George Washington University (gworld.gwu.edu)
The George Washington University GWorld program is by far the best program as students must deposit between $1,500 and $3,400 a year in their account; which in turns means more money available for participating businesses.
- DC area business owners and managers who want to reach college students.
- DC area college students who want to share job search experiences.
As we do our best to keep you engaged by providing relevant tips and content, we hope you won’t be shy in sharing best practices and providing us with feedback.
