"It is in changing that things find purpose."
-Heraclitus
And a new change is upon me driving my own purpose to new levels.
Now that I'm unemployed and seeking new employment opportunities, I am totally knocked out and overwhelmed by the support, love, help and kindness so many people have shown me.
This weekend, I shared my "social media marketing campaign" to find new employment opportunities with my friend Judy Martin. After hearing it, Judy got inspired to write about my plan so others could benefit from it.
So Judy wrote this very cool piece about how I'll use my network to find employment opportunities. Thanks, Judy! :)
I also created this special page for potential employers to see if we are a fit. Feel free to share this page with your network.
A client and great friend, John Koetsier, also wrote a cool riff about how I'm using social media/networking to land my next job.
Between my "real life" network, Twitter and LinkedIn, I'm in great hands with so many fine folks.
How do I keep track of all the people I meet and plan my next steps? JibberJobber, of course! What an awesome system. And I'm incredibly fortunate to have Jason Alba, the man behind JibberJobber, as a good friend in my network.
Wow! I can't say "thank you" enough to everyone helping and sending well-wishes!
It's only been four days but doors are opening quicker than I ever imagined!
I just want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for continuing to be part of this very special community. I'm always getting lots of neat emails that keep my fire going. I hope I fuel your fire as well.
Y'all rock. :)
