Civi-Side was on This Week in Startups this past past Fri. talking about the Guaranteed Interview. The host called the G.I. a "Killer Idea" and suggested ways to improve the site and logo design so that the program would take off. This was an important appearance and a great boost in our confidence. We are seeing increased site traffic following the show and are gaining more credibility in the marketplace.

In case you don't know, the G.I. is a free grass-roots program enabling employers to tangibly demonstrate their support for transitioning military by displaying the G.I. logo wherever they post their jobs and guaranteeing an interview to transitioners qualified for the job posting and applying with a Civi-Side resume.

This Week in Startups
Tomorrow civiside.com will be featured on the "Ask Jason" segment of This Week in Startups. I thought that this was a cool opportunity because I really like the show but turns out it is also a huge promotional opportunity. I got in contact with another startup founder in Ottawa who has been on the show and he said that he got 5 000 hits from that one appearance. If we got anywhere near that in ours I will flip my lid.
On a related note, I have been alluding to a big initiative and new service model. Something that I have forgotten to mention is that civiside has expanded in both our service market, instead of just Reservists we now serve all transitioning military, but also in scope, we are now global in at least one respect, we believe that we have the formula for the world's first scalable ex-military job network. In order to achieve that we will probably have to bring on some investors, so we are beginning to reach out to them now.
As I said before, it's an exciting time to be civiside.com.

3 Week Countdown
These are exciting times to be part of civiside.com. We are poised over the next few weeks to change our corner of the world through an entirely new service model that promises to connect military personnel with exponentially more opportunities than ever before, and a unique initiative announcement that will supercharge our growth.
In related news, we are co-hosting a Support The Troops Day with the Ottawa Fat Cats Baseball Club at Ottawa Stadium on 4 July at 13:00HRS. Admission is free for military. It would be great if you are in Ottawa to have you there. Especially since that is where we will be making our game changing announcement and introducing our new service model. If you can't make it, keep your ears open anyway, this is going to be big.
