Saw this tidbit in the collection of draft posts I’ve had for quite awhile – July 19, 2007, in fact! I bet there are lots of stories like this around now:

Donna Papacosta on Twitter: “@chrisbrogan: People have found me, and hired me, because of my blog and podcast.”

Check out How I Got My Job! for information on an upcoming project I’ve been working on.

I’ve listened to Peter Clayton‘s interview with Steven Rothberg two days in a row, because it’s got me thinking about my own career strategies for using social networking sites, as well as my portfolio blog. You need to listen to this, too.

If you’ve been around this blog throughout its nearly 5-year history, you’ll know that the general layout hasn’t changed that much.

Larger font size, wider layout, and white background
Category list
