What Kind of Person Uses JibberJobber Heres a Profile. I get asked this question all the time just who uses JibberJobber? Heres a user who has given me permission to share her profile with you. Bridgette Hinchman is: a mid to senior level General Manager/Director of Operations (at a medium to large company) or a VP of Ops/COO at a small company. I have my MBA and over 12 years of progressive sales and operational experience at the GM level. My experience has focused on getting small businesses to the next level (from start up and shortly after) or fixing troubled sites within a 90 day window (for existing companies). In essence, people pay me to fix their broken or struggling business as a career employee and from there I have gotten promoted upward. Sounds pretty cool, right? Bridgette is in the Dallas area, and is hoping to stay in that area if possible. Bridgette is a corporate rockstar. By no fault of her own* she is a self-proclaimed VERY assertive job seeker. She is the type of professional who gets JibberJobber. Does she understand networking and nurturing relationships? Im sure she does. Is she a competent subject matter expert?

Bridgette found herself in this VERY assertive state the same way that thousands of people this year will find themselves. This is what happened to me two years ago corporate decisions, economy, fickle management, bad management decisions, loss of a contract the list goes on and on. This year there will be hundreds of thousands of people whos jobs and careers are affected by forces they have no control over.
