It’s so great to be amazingly busy, and if you follow me on Twitter, you probably already know what I’m up to.  Still, I know you like to have some good stuff to read from time to time.  With that in mind, here are some things I’ve been looking forward to sharing with you.

Maximizing Your Job Search Workshop, Crossroads Community Church, Cincinnati, Ohio

In February I gave a talk in front of about 150 job seekers about the How I Got My Job project, entitled “Real People. Real Job-hunting Success Stories.”  Last night I gave another talk to about 50 job seekers entitled “The Emotional Side of the Job Search” (links to slides coming soon). In addition to the photo on this page, there are some more photos from Maximizing Your Job Search Workshops held in Cincinnati, Ohio on Flickr.

Job-hunting success stories wanted

I recently submitted a request to Peter Shankman’s Help a Reporter for individuals to interview for How I Got My Job.  So far the response has been great. A lot of real people have genuinely interesting stories to share.  If you would like to share one of your job-hunting success stories, please get in touch to set up a phone interview: successstories AT howigotmyjob DOT com. Please keep in mind that it can be any job that you’ve landed; I have collected stories from over 15 years ago!

Evaluating job offers

One of the questions I ask during the How I Got My Job interviews is how people have evaluated job offers.  I believe advice on how to do this effectively is sorely needed, especially in the current job market.  Check out this working guide for evaluating lowball salary offers from Liz Ryan.

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.
