But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon. One winner will be selected to win a new Droid RAZR. To enter to win, you must do the following:

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon. One winner will be selected to win a new Droid RAZR. To enter to win, you must do the following:

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon. One winner will be selected to win a new Droid RAZR. To enter to win, you must do the following:
  • Follow me on both Twitter and Facebook

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go!

But there have been several start-ups that are hoping to also break into that genre, and if Monster.com has their way, they will be a major competitor in the professional social networking game. Monster.com has created their own professional network application on Facebook called BeKnown. According to the information I received:
BeKnown allows you to set up a professional profile directly on Facebook that is completely separate from your personal Facebook page. One of the apps newest features, College Pages, even provides a way for alumni to network professionally on Facebook and view job postings from their fellow graduates! With BeKnown College Pages: Any jobs posted by alumni on BeKnown are added to the College/University profile page and Alumni with job opportunities can post jobs to students and recent alums for free Students can follow their school and build relationships/connections with alumni working at top companies & discover alumni  jobs In addition to College Pages, BeKnown also lets you conduct a job search of Monster's database of jobs without ever leaving BeKnown or Facebook. By tapping into the networks of their Facebook friends, young professionals can easily connect, send messages, and see who among their existing contacts is connected to a company or job opportunity they are interested in.
With Facebook being the top social network, it was smart of Monster.com to launch BeKnown within Facebook as an application. So people can use the tool while being logged into Facebook. Genius! There is also a BeKnown mobile app for phones: Facebook app: http://apps.facebook.com/beknown Mobile apps: http://app.beknown.com/mobile/ (only accessible from your mobile phone) iPhone app: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/beknown/id459774317 Android app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beknown.android Monster.com would like you to try BeKnown on Facebook or via their mobile app. They also want to help you snag the job of your dreams by giving away a BeKnown Interview Survival Kit to one lucky TheCubicleChick.com reader.

They were the rage back then with their sleek design and thinness. I had a pink one and remember them coming in a bunch of colors including black, silver, and red. Anywho, after about a year, I moved on from the RAZR to the Blackberry Pearl, and as technology introduced the masses to smartphones like the iPhone and Android, the RAZR quickly fell by the wayside. ...now they are back! Motorola has released a new Droid RAZR on the Verizon network and it boasts 4g LTE speed along with the features that everyone loves about the Droid. It's thinner than most phones and is so futuristic---when it comes to smartphones, the Motorola Droid RAZR has upped the ante. With a Kevlar shell and a 1.2. GHz processor with 1 GB of Ram, the device is a must-have if you want a smartphone that is fast and easy to use. It is also the thinnest phone available on the market currently, with a 4.3 screen. I know you are drooling with joy while reading this description---and I am giving you the opportunity to win a brand new Droid RAZR, compliments of Verizon.

It's a serious subject, but one that must be addressed, especially if you have a family. Health insurance and healthcare have become polarizing topics in America, but it doesn't have to be scary, especially when you are well informed. When you are self employed, employed, or unemployed, health insurance matters, it can be really confusing. The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) have several tips to help you with your health insurance decisions. For the employed: ·         Review options for changes:  Don’t automatically renew what you have had before because employers are making changes due to rising costs. ·         Do the math: To pick the best plan, calculate healthcare costs from recent years and try to estimate costs for the coming year; don’t assume you know what plan will be the most affordable. ·         Check out tax-free savings: Open a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan or a health savings account if that is available to you. And, don’t forget about dependent care savings accounts. ·         Look for wellness incentives: Find out if your employer is offering a wellness program or incentives for healthy behaviors such as exercising regularly or not smoking. For the self employed: ·         Spouse plan: First, check about being added to your spouse’s or domestic partner’s employer plan. ·         Individual insurance: Consider shopping for private insurance. This option allows you to customize care to your lifestyle, health and budget. New Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plans could help if you have had trouble qualifying for coverage in the past. For the unemployed: ·         Now is a good time to review your decision and determine if your choice is still appropriate and if you or your family members might be eligible for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program ·         Some professional or philanthropic associations offer state regulated health plans. For a fee, you can join these organizations and have the ability to participate in their plan. No matter your circumstances, knowing more about what your options are can make it less difficult. And to help you be the healthiest you can be, the NAIC is giving me the opportunity to give away one (1) heart monitor to help you stay on top of your heart health. To enter to win the heart rate monitor, you must: Follow me on Twitter and Facebook Subscribe to my blog Leave a comment below let me know that you did as instructed. That's it! One (1) winner will be selected at random on/after November 10th, 2011 and will be announced on Twitter. The winner will have 24 hrs to claim prize or an alternate winner will be selected. Contest open to U.S. residents only. I hope that these health insurance tips come in handy for you and good luck on winning the heart monitor! I, The Cubicle Chick, was given this opportunity to giveaway a heart rate monitor and share these health tips to my readers from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and its PR firm. The tips listed here are directly from the NAIC, and the opinions in this post are mine and written from my point of view.]]> http://www.thecubiclechick.com/index.php/2011/10/31/giveaway-win-a-heart-monitor-naic-health-insurance-tips/feed/ 6 Review & Giveaway: Go!

Working a lot online can cause carpal tunnel and overuse of the muscles in your hands and wrists, and may even cause chronic pain. It's times like these when a girl needs a massage of these areas that can help loosen you up and make you feel like a million bucks! My friends at Go! Spa here in St. Louis invited me in for a preview of their Tech Girl Relief Massage. I was the first chick in the area to try it out and I was honored to. Knowing that they had us techie girls in mind when they created the service made me feel like they were onto something, so I made sure to take them up on their offer. I was greeted by massage therapist, Antheria, and she got right down to business. We went into the fabulous pink and white room and she had me lay down on the massage table. I did not have to remove my clothing like a traditional massage, because the Tech Girl Relief Massage focuses on the neck, shoulders, lower arms, hands, fingers, and wrists. I did have to remove my jewelry as to not have it interfere with the massage. Antheria told me right away that she could tell that I have massages on a regular basis. She also said that she could tell that I was right handed because all of my muscles on my right side were bigger than my left. Antheria did a fabulous job working me out and taking care of those areas that often get overused in my quest of worldwide domination online. It was a wonderful experience, and I only wished that I had more time (which is usually how I feel after any massage because they always come to an end too soon :( ) This massage is great for women on the go who may not have time for a full massage or only want to target the upper body region. The techniques Antheria used were specifically for those areas and made me feel less stressed and and more at ease when I left. I will definitely be back for a Tech Girl Relief Massage very soon. Go! Spa is giving me the fabulous opportunity to give one lucky reader a Tech Girl Relief 30 Minute Massage. To enter, you must do the following: That's it! One reader will be chosen at random on October 18th and announced via Twitter and Facebook. Once the winner is announced, the winner will have 24 hours to claim prize or an alternate winner will selected. This contest is open to readers of the St. Louis and surrounding areas. Good luck! And thanks to Go!
