At Willows-Marsh, we understand that for every business activity, there is a corresponding technology activity. The number one technology tool skill employers were seeing in the latter half of 2008 was Wordpress (see oDesk, Dec. 2008).
Additionally, we understand the critical role this tool and other types of Web 2.0 Social Media tools play in today's job market, specifically at a time when there is a significant flood of talent in the market. Therefore, we are upgrading our candidate support tools to provide our clients a web platform fully integrated with Web 2.0 tools.
More important, we provide an individual consultant to guide our candidates through the effective use of new and emerging tools and applications such as Twitter, VisualCV, FriendFeed, Tweetdeck, Wordpress, and others.
