Reward a London Recruiter’s Social Media Efforts!

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Hello all!  In this modern era of social marketing, people across the globe have been increasingly shedding paper to connect with one another over internet.  It’s the immediacy and multimedia that the web offers that makes this such an appealing means to market one’s self or business, and it’s obviously something that we at London Relocation Ltd. are partaking in more and more each day.  But this isn’t about us.

It’s time for casting votes for the Social Recruiting Awards (SOCRA), which seeks to recognize the outstanding online presence of recruiters.  Today, we want to give props to the social media efforts of a brilliant business that works in collaboration with us to assist North Americans with moving abroad.  As I’ve written in a previous blog post, Classroom Canada is an organization that assists Canadian and American teachers with finding employment in London schools.  Its owner and operator, Victoria Westcott, is a Canadian teacher who has had firsthand experience living and working in London, and her passion for both the education field and sharing her expat experiences with those making the move themselves has yielded a myriad of online resources, from blogs to e-books, aiming to assist others with their understanding of English culture, be it with regard to work or pleasure.  Her practical guidance offers an empathetic voice that knows both sides to the story, so we cannot applaud nor promote her efforts and superhuman energy more!

I can keep expressing this until I’m blue in the face, but the purpose of this post is to give YOU a say in it, too!  If you know of Victoria either through Classroom Canada or her e-published works or become familiar with these resources via the links provided here and like what you see, you can express your support by participating in the SOCRA Awards.  Here you will find information on Victoria’s Guide to Teaching in London:  A Survival Guide for Canadians and cast your vote.

Bravo, Victoria, for all the time and enthusiasm you devote to helping others–we can’t think of anyone else who deserves recognition more.  London Relocation Ltd. shares a common purpose and finds great solidarity with your mission!

Join “London Living” & Meet Fellow London Expats!

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

London Living's main page

Our London Living social network has shocked us in becoming a successful online community in just three weeks since its inception!  Present and future expats have already been asking relocation or other London-related questions and sharing quality responses amongst each other on our online discussion forums (topics including where to live and where to play), and some members (including myself) have already started meeting each other in person at local cafes—I’m meeting with another fabulous “Londonista” tonight, in fact, to co-plan our first London Living social outing, scheduled now for Saturday, February 20th.  The specific venue is to be determined, but Londonistas on the forum have chosen the neighborhood of Camden by popular demand–seems to be a locale everyone is curious about getting to know better, as one always hears of the active and diverse night-life to be had there.

When you join London Living, you will be able to create and maintain your own personal profile page where other Londonistas can post comments directly on the page or send private messages to your Inbox (very much like Facebook, but this profile can be specific to your London life).  You can post your lovely photos in and around London, announce local events to members, and add any number of other applications to your profile.  The main page also contains live feeds of our London Relocation Ltd. blog and Twitter tweets, so it’s like one-stop-shoppin’ for all your London curiosities!

Joining London Living in no way obligates you to use London Relocation Ltd.‘s services.  The creation and maintenance of this social network is simply another way in which we wish to help out folks moving to London from the U.S., Canada, or any other nation on the globe outside of England—as well as those already living here who are in the process of settling in, or are settled and simply want to meet new friends and find cool new stuff to do around here!  If there are any questions we at London Relocation Ltd. can’t answer, there’s surely someone on London Living who can.

Cheers to you and your new life across the pond–plan it, live it, and love it!
