Job Search Experiment Update – Deadline Extended

I am officially extending the Job Search Website Experiment Deadline until January 31st, 2011.

Why? Because that is the deadline I have set for myself to land a new awesome job with an awesome business or organization. I’ve got some pretty sweet leads that I’m excited about pursuing.

Starting today, I am kicking my job search into high gear. Job searching is now my new full-time job. And I’m going to share my experiences with you every step of the way. I am doing this because I know there are plenty of you out there who are stressed, nervous, and fearful because you haven’t landed a job, you are afraid you will lose your job, or you feel “dead inside” or lacking in some way at your current job.

Here is what I have for you so far……….. READ FULL ARTICLE
