Looks like you can now link your LinkedIn account to twitter, to find out from your LinkedIn contacts, who to follow. Quite useful, as I’ve found a bunch of people I wanted to follow, but wasn’t!

I’m trying to gather together as much information as I can on policies and guidelines for using Social Media within Pharma / Biotech / Healthcare / Life sciences.
It seems that very few organisations have really got this nailed, and maybe there should be more open discussion about this. Possibly even have some industry guidelines.
If you have some guidelines or policies that you can share – drop me a line – I’d be keen to hear about them
Thanks
Looks like Novartis are the first pharma company to have had their knuckles wrapped by the FDA over social media promotion, after they include a Facebook share link on a website. “…to promote Tasigna is incomplete and misleading”

A nice article on how to avoid a social media disaster by creating good company policies

Plus there’s a useful link to a number of corporate policies here:

as well as Pfizer’s social media activities here:

This looks interesting:

Thanks to Cruiter Talk here are 5 Free Job Posting Boards and a brief overview with the text taken directly from their websties without modification.
Here are 5 Free job posting and Spidering sites in no particular order of preference.
Resumark.com (Text is from the Resumark.com website)
Unlike most other job websites on the Internet, we will list your jobs for free. That’s right – you can post as many jobs as you want – completely free. We are the first website to come up with this idea and here is how it works:
ZipRecruiter.com (Text is from theZipRecruiter.com website)
ZipRecruiter offers a do it yourself web based hiring solution as an alternative to recruiters. Founded in 2010, Ziprecruiter enables companies to post to multiple free job boards with a single submission and vet all applicants through simple-to-setup online interviews. Hiring personnel can toggle between applicants answers and resumes online as they collaborate to rate and select the best candidate.
Jobvertise.com (Text is from the Jobvertise.com website)
Jobvertise basic services are FREE to employers and jobseekers because we generate our revenue through premium services and advertising on the site. As an employer using the basic services you never have to pay a fee to post jobs or search over 800,000 resumes in our database!*
JobZoom.com (Text is from the JobZoom.com website)
To make posting easier, we want to go beyond the norm. You have the option of posting INSTANTANEOUSLY, without lengthy processes, boring signups, or hassle, in under a minute your job is up and running, it activates simply through email. BUT… if you want to easily manage jobs on your very own DASHBOARD where you can edit and delete jobs right there on one screen… we recommend a free member account. click here for the dashboard area We have many more features coming and job posting will only get smoother.
JobSpider.com (Text is from the JobSpider.com website)
JobSpider.com is a free employment information exchange job board actually modeled fromhttp://www.craigslist.org. My name is Chris McGarry and I designed it because I was looking for a network administrator and it was frustrating to not see an intuitive and nicely organized free job board. The response has obviously been overwhelming and my ”small project” has blossomed into a very popular job board that, in many ways, rivals the big boys (i.e. Monster, HotJobs, etc.).
JobSpider.com is FREE to employers and jobseekers. There is no charge to post a resume, post job(s), search through the resumes, search through the jobs, or create a job alert. JobSpider.com is FREE to employers and jobseekers because I generate revenue through advertising on the site. The only fee that I will charge is to bulk import jobs for employers.
A new multi-posting tool has arrived on the block…
Vacancy Poster is a full featured web application that enables recruiters to post their vacancy simultaneously to multiple job boards. It provides similar functionality to established solutions such as Broadbean and Idibu, but free of charge.
Is this a Broadbean killer? – I’ll certainly be looking into it further. I will also ensure that PharmiWeb.com is on their list of Job Boards.
It looks like LinkedIn have removed the ability to post links into the Job Posting within groups. This to me seems very silly, because the whole point of posting a job on a LinkedIn group is to get users to click on the ones they are interested in and bring them to your website. Putting the cut-and-past-a-link hurdle in their way is not a good idea. That’s not to say that people won’t be doing that, but it doesn’t make it easy. I’ll be monitoring the traffic from LinkedIn to see if this makes any difference.
Interesting WSJ article about large companies who contine to invest in their Job Sites…

This is quite interesting, but I’ve just found that I’m about to reach the “group” limit on LinkedIn. I didn’t know that you could only join 50 groups. Darn it. I need to be more selective.
