Hey Jason!

Thanks for writing about us! We are having a great time. It’s like being on a carousel that’s going really, really fast… an exciting whirlwind.

I guess for me, I wanted to try something different than looking for a job. You know that I really do love job-hunting anyway, so this has been a fun substitute. Being a job-maker, instead of a job-taker.

I will say, though, that having really developed a lot of relationships over the last several months was absolutely crucial to the success and quick turnaround we had with getting the business off the ground. (We opened the kiosk 5 days after approaching the mall and vendors with the idea!) And that is absolutely something that Jibber Jobber and managing your career can help with.

What I like about your blog carnival, along with the subsequent casualties, Jason, is that it’s uncovering a lot of stuff that we professionals should be doing already anyway. Granted, for a lot of us who are out of work, it’s been painful. But, at least for me, it’s helped me to get more focused.

LOL

I was embarrassed that I forgot to blog in your carnival, Jason–but now I am a bit relieved that I missed it!

Yes Thom – the remaining 90% of participants should be very concerned :p One more “casualty” and I’ll send it to Steven King to include in his next book!

Actually, its just the way it is – I hope that a post like this makes EVERYONE concerned enough to figure out how they are going to manage their career

Should the rest of the people who submitted posts to your “Networking Carnival” be scared????

Thanks Jason! I think this is also a great opportunity for me, I am running faster than I’m able to keep up…but it’s fun and I am really “in the fire” now, I have to work so hard everyday to make this work, but I’m grateful for Carolynn’s invitation and tenacity, negotiating skills, and for the great luck of it all! Blessings!

Best,
Kelly

There’s nothing like a ‘day-in-the-life’ of a job seeker. Gatekeepers of the job search process – beware. The Internet is tipping the scale …. toward job seekers.
