Unusual Requests and Rants with JibberJobber

Unusual Requests and Rants with JibberJobber Every once in a while I get a heated (HEATED!) email from someone about some crazy thing were doing to them because they signed up on JibberJobber. Heres a recent Im deleting my account because message: Because you guys gave me the upgrade when i didnt want it! I do not want to pay almost 10 dollars a month for this job website. There are two points here: We gave her an upgrade, even though she didnt want it. When you sign up for JibberJobber and LOGIN FOR THE FIRST TIME we award you 14 days of premium.  For people who DONT WANT IT, let me apologize now for giving you this free 14 days.  For everyone else who appreciates it, let me encourage you to use that time to import your contacts from Outlook, Gmail Contacts, LinkedIn, etc.  And if you really dont want it, just pretend you have the free level no harm, no foul, right? She doesnt want to pay almost 10 bucks a month for this. Really?  Well guess what NO PROBLEM.  JibberJobber was designed to give you what you NEED for free.  Forever.  We dont force you or strong arm you into paying anything, ever.  You upgrade when you want, downgrade when you want.  But the irony of this beef is this: how are we going to charge you? At this point you havent given us any payment information, or authority to charge you?  It is not possible for us to charge you unless you give a credit card, ya know?  Were not scammers. About a year ago I got an extremely heated, ALL UPPER CASE email from someone who was LIVID that we gave him the premium upgrade and the 14 day clock started ticking from when he first logged in. Im amazed that some people have great ideas while others offer no solution or suggestion, just very heated, passionate, disrespectful yuckiness. Even though I have an official, legal company, I am not out to cheat anyone. I want to provide high value, and hope that some people will pay for it.  Its the old underpromise/overdeliver thing.  Im out to please, not hurt.  Unfortunately, some people think companies are out to hurt and cheat them.  Thats not me. How does this apply to your job search? Read this post: Are You Bleeding? Do your communications with people, whether at a networking event, in the anonymous online world, in email, on the phone, or on your thank you letters, show your blood all over? I would never, ever recommend or want to communicate with someone who craps all over me (they might crap all over the person I introduce them to, right?). If you arent getting anywhere in your so-called-networking efforts, perhaps you are bleeding too much Unusual Requests and Rants with JibberJobber Every once in a while I get a heated (HEATED!) email from someone about some crazy thing were doing to them because they signed up on JibberJobber.
