Everybody has a talent

How surprised would you be if you were to learn that your grumpy and always so sullen cubicle neighbor at work was lead singer in a rock band or if your Sr. VP moonlighted as a scorpion wrangler? (Whatever that means…)

What if I told you that Timothy, the guy who has been sitting across for the past two years, has a collection of over 300 musical snow globes. And 65-year-old Roselyn who handles the reception area has anything and everything that has to do with Disneyland. Right from cups, picture frames, key chains and earrings. In fact, she has a whole room just dedicated to her Disney paraphernalia.

Are your crazy about photography, freelancing Monet’s, tap dancing, collectors of gum wrap, stamps, or ghost chases – the possibilities are endless.

We work side by side for endless hours not knowing anything about so-called work family. And mind you these are interesting and fun facts. Facts like these should be bragged about, talked about and yes, also worthy of a private snicker from time to time.

Everyone has a passion, a hidden hobby, and an activity that we take on in our personal lives but for whatever reason keep closeted always from the outside world.

What do your co-workers not know about you??

We don't want to see your resume

Everybody has a certain skill or hidden talent that may not correlate with their resume. Often, in a job market that sometimes insists on brevity, these aptitudes are first to get left off an application.

Someone seeking a position in corporate accounting might not know how to disclose their talent for creating professional-level animation. A sales executive could well keep co-workers in the dark that from 1994 to 1996, he was the number-one ranked player for Magic cards in Florida. And another person fresh out of college might be uncertain of how to market their many talents and hobbies for prospective employers and peers. People can go years without learning the secret abilities of their friends and co-workers.

That is where GuruHubb comes in. We are not about the resume, we are about the footnote to it. In fact, we don't even want to see your resume.

After all, we're not Monster. We are a platform for people to expose their hobbies, skills and talents, a channel for them to find similar individuals to connect with. We value these things more than some mechanical list of skills or other traditional resume fodder. Everybody is a guru of something, we believe. We allow people to showcase whatever that something may be and then use it to help propel them forward.

We are an early-stage start-up in the San Francisco Bay Area. We are in the same vein of established social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace and Twitter, though we provide a complementary suite of services that individually, none of the aforementioned companies currently offer. We allow a combination of professional networking, social media interface and recreational, ancillary value currently unseen elsewhere.

For a limited time, we are proud to offer free profiles to anyone on our site. To create a page, go here: http://www.guruhubb.com/signup.php

Don't wait, showcase yourself today!
