Questions Hillary Asks Luke in this Jobcast

Luke, would you care to tell us a little bit about the company and especially your unique title at VMWare?

Would you mind telling the story of how a change in mailing address for you led to your greater appreciation and support of professional user groups.

I’d bet you that most people focus more on online networking than they do offline. Why should people embrace offline networking, especially user groups, like the ones that you deal with?

What do you recommend is the best way to make the most out of participating in a user group, and should job seekers approach that participation differently from people who are already employed, or should it be about the same?

Tune in next time for part two of Hillary O’Keefe’s interview with VMWare social media producer Luke Kilpatrick.
