Kent Fenwick, our Chief Code Magician, recently asked a great question that I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on --
How would you make ProspectLinker better?
As we've mentioned before, we are working on a beta release that focuses on one concept -- facilitating professional conversations. As a result of your conversations, you have the opportunity to meet people outside of your personal networks, in industries that you may not have access to. Some of the industries currently represented on ProspectLinker include:
- Advertising & Public Relations
- Management Consulting
- Finance / Hedge Funds / Investment Banking
- Marketing
- Media / Entertainment
- Real Estate
- Technology
- Venture Capital / Private Equity
So, as we focus on our revised site, your feedback on this question will help us determine what you think is important for us to implement in our release.
***
Here are a couple recent suggestions:
"Daily digest that pulls together all/or a selected bunch of new conversations that have been started in areas that people identify as personally interesting..."
From: Management Consultant
"Great opportunity for perhaps fostering mentor relationships, but maybe you need to bring that more to the forefront?..."
From: Masters Student

Check out more suggestions by signing up here -- http://bit.ly/3v1Uq. Share any ideas you have and vote for the best.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts. Thanks for your interest and support.

I wish you all the best with this endeavor. I think it is a great idea, I only have one suggestion. How about expanding your reach to the 'immigrant' population as well? They have potential, sometimes even more than the average Canadian Joe. I think this would go beyond just mentorship.

Thanks for your comment Umar.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the idea we're working on. I think the reach of the site will definitely include the immigrant population. Ultimately, the idea is for anyone to have professional conversations with other people who may be outside of their network, so that includes immigrants.
Also, as you will notice from the people using the site, it very much transcends borders. We have people from the US, Canada, China, and UK using the site. So, it also provides people with the ability to have conversations with others in different countries that you wouldn't have otherwise been able to connect with.
Thanks again for your comment.
