Audio: CouchCast - Silicon Slopes
On Wednesday, SiliconSlopes.com will be sponsoring the first of a series of "Myth Buster" events dedicated to helping HR, Recruiting and Real Estate professionals get insight into helping people make the decision to relocate to Utah.
In this episode of our podcast, we talked with Jan Johnson, a marketing professional who had to make the decision herself to relocate to Utah and still calls Utah her home though she works and consults for companies wherever she is needed. She has worked at Business Week as a technology journalist, has had experience with silicon valley startups and is currently providing marketing consulting services for startup companies or startup-divisions within companies to help them train up their salesforce and put together lead generation programs.
She is also the organizer of this "Myth Buster" series of events sponsored by Silicon Slopes.com, surrounding the challenge of recruiting people to Utah.
The first event, which is free, which will be held next week on April 22nd, noon to 1:30pm at the Waterford School Concert Hall in Sandy, Utah.
