April Showers Bring Joe Connector Job Offers, Allow Him to Keep His House

OK, so this is an optimistic headline (one that YOU can help make happen) - one that I wanted to start off with yesterday, but did not post on April Fool's Day - because it is NO JOKE.  I need a job - in the worst way.  I have been unemployed for way to long and am just looking for an opportunity - I will have no problem proving myself.

I'm sure I'm not alone in this crappy economy, seriously behind on house payments, utilities, child support and other very important obligations.  Not to mention not always getting enough to eat or being able to help support my friends and family like I should be able to.  It's getting very old - and this month it is critical.  If I do not start working VERY VERY soon, there is no doubt that I will soon be homeless.  Talk about motivation ...

I've started an all-out blitz looking for work.  I've posted banner ads large and small at BellevueBusinessJournal.com and EastsideEntreprneurs.com (I hope that nobody gets offended, but I am desperate - and I do use my time and resources to build and maintain both sites.  (See - I'm already a Social Media Manager - just unpaid ...).

Although I've always believed that my next job will come to me through one of my contacts, I also have a renewed energy to begin applying for positions that I see posted elsewhere including LinkedIn, Craigslist and various local and industry sites.  The first job that I applied for today was for a Social Media Manager position with Jackson Family Wines, makers of Kendall Jackson Wines, as well as many other well respected brands.  I've enjoyed their wines for many years, and after doing a little more research on the company (including watching and subscribing to the Kendall Jackson YouTube channel), I really love their dedication to quality.  Striving to produce the best wine possible is what they do and they do it well.  I would love to be part of this and will write about it more in another post - I've decided to write a short post about each and every job I apply for.

PLEASE let me know your thoughts by leaving a comment on the posts that you read.  YOUR feedback is very important to me.  Thank you!
