Wow! I was featured in The Atlanta Journal and Constitution
I was featured in the article “It takes more than a résumé” that was released in today’s Sunday paper!! I was in the AJC Jobs Section along with a few of my friends; Michael Marlatt and Sherry Heyl. You can click the screenshot below to read the article for yourself, but here are few quotable quotes in the meantime.
Michael Marlatt
Marlatt spent a month in Vietnam this year on vacation with his wife. During that time he was able to recruit about 10 new hires for Microsoft by using his iPhone — which was synchronized to his work and home computers — and his laptop at Internet cafes to gather résumés, research candidates, make contacts and send files stored on virtual sites. “Cloud recruiting equals freedom,” Marlatt said. “You can work anywhere when you’re completely mobile.”
Sherry Heyl
“This is a business of constant change. When Twitter [a micro-blogging site] started two years ago, everyone said who needs that, but when Hurricane Ike hit, CNN was using Twitter to connect to people in Louisiana and Texas to find out what was going on in various communities,” Heyl said.
Me
“If you have 15 years in a field, you’re an expert. You could design a Webinar and charge people for your knowledge,” Jim Stroud said. “My dad always told me, ‘If you can’t find a job, make one.’ “
.
This one is for you Dad! (Rest in peace)

Jim:
My entire morning was brightened upon opening the AJC and seeing your face and reading your comments. You have been my teacher for many years and everyone who knows you is better because of the relationship. Your insight, wisdom, and wit allow others to connect with a trusted friend/advisor like few people I have known. Keep up the great work, Jim.

Hello Jim,
A nice article, but an even nicer surprise afterwards to find your website and the wealth of tips and information contained within. I’ve been looking for a narrow, niche position for a while now, and I’ve already stumbled across a few tips that I’m sure will help me in my search. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

Hey Jim,
Its something to cherish. Your dad’s quote “if you can’t find a job, make one” as Michael commented is very inspirational and boosts self confidence.
