25 Sep 08 One thing every day for your career development
Image via Wikipedia
It’s almost like Jason Alba was reading my mind. Yesterday I mentioned how I’ve felt like I’ve been treading water in my job search:
I had an idea a few days ago, and my mind has been spinning since. Today I’m announcing Jibberjobber One Thing, which will help people who are interested in nurturing their careers, or even protecting their careers, and wondering what they can proactively do to salvage some idea of job security.
I’ve signed up for this. Why don’t you do the same?
21 May 08 JibberJobber Premium Special – Ends Tonight!
If you, like me, have been using JibberJobber to help manage your job search and networking, then you’ll be glad to know that Jason and the crew have extended their premium special for one more day. $99 for the premium features is well worth the price you pay.
I’ve been using this tool since 2006, and I really love the way it helps me track the minutiae tasks that I really have had trouble with. I especially love the email alerts feature. In addition, Jason Alba has done a really great job supporting the tool with the blog, webinars, and videos on how to use it.
Check out JibberJobber, and let me know what you think. When you sign up, be sure to connect with me over there, too.

10 Mar 08 Using Top Business Lists for market research and lead generation?
When I was looking for my first job out of college, and in many of my subsequent job searches, I’ve often looked at the top business lists for the area where I was looking.
The print editions of the Cincinnati Business Courier and Dayton Business Journal, for example, contain top 25 lists of various companies and individuals in various categories. It looks like these lists can be ordered online, too: here’s the link for Cincinnati Business Lists. From this link you can search other markets and categories, too.
As a job seeker, I’ve personally preferred to spend some time at my public library, searching their archived lists, instead of spending money on these lists.
Have you found these lists to be helpful?

10 Nov 07 The Impetus for a Job Change?
To say I’m upset is an understatement. In this Utterz from the Road (player embedded above), I talk about a “Coaching Memo” I received today that could very well be the impetus needed for me to make a job move. Please check out http://danieljohnsonjr.com/

12 Oct 07 Considering a job offer
Good morning, you wonderful people!
I have a decision I need to make about a job change very soon – even today. I was given a consulting-type job offer that I’m seriously considering.
So many things point to it being good; a lot of the opposites to my current position.
I’m working through concerns over whether I can really do this new job, because it’s different from what I’ve been doing. You see, in my current position, I get to be creative, and I’ve learned THAT is one of my strongest motivators.
I’m not sure that exists with this new job. But I’m considering taking it and then looking for something creative as a hobby outside of work. I mean, I already have creative hobbies outside of work, but continuing with them.
Another thing that strongly motivates me is that I can really do a good job at what I’ve been tasked to do; i.e., I want to set myself up for success in the work I do.
As I type that last sentence, it almost sounds like I’m limiting myself – maybe I am. In most of my adult life, I’ve not been one to take many risks, especially since I’m the primary breadwinner of our family.
Yet I can’t help think that this could be the Lord prompting me to “get out of the boat.”
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and comments.

13 Aug 07 QUESTION: Drawing the line between effective promotion and spam
This is a question I’ve asked my LinkedIn network, and I also ask here:
How do you draw the line between effective promotion and spam?When marketing a brand or doing some other type of publicity for someone or something, there are effective ways to promote, and there are not so effective ways. How do identify, especially in the digital age in which we live, where the line between effective promotion (self- or otherwise) is and where you’ve crossed it?
Comments are open and genuinely appreciated!
