Welcome to the Program

I will dedicate this blog to my job search. Here’s the program in a nutshell:

“Whoever is the first contact who lands me a full-time job gets my first paycheck” (A $2,000+ value)

How is that for a little bonus during these tough economic times?

Over the next few weeks, I will post job openings that I’ve applied to or genuinely interested in. You can see these as my recent posts.

You can also check out my professional profile on LinkedIn to get an idea of what I’ve done, and what I’m looking for. I’m not going to sit still either, so I’d get to keep my first paycheck if I land a job with my great French charming skills

Feel free to tweet about this #landmeajob or post as your FB status in order to increase your chances.

Thank you and good luck!

**UPDATE** 02/02/10

Landed a contracting job, which means you still have a chance at getting my first “full-time employee” paycheck. Looking for the following positions:

- Enterprise Online Video Strategy/Consultant
- Multimedia Communications Program Manager
- Business Development for emerging video platforms/technologies

Congrats to Gary and Jami for almost getting the first paycheck. Made it through the final rounds of interviews!

Hello all!

Quite update on your contributions, and additional program details.

First, there was quite a bit of activity for the launch of this blog. Up to 140 viewers in under 8 hours of the site going live, so THANK YOU for your support! Keep sending this blog around to your connections, and help me land my next job and your prize: my first paycheck. Thanks to those who have forwarded my resumes to the hands of hiring managers for various positions. You know who you are!

A bit more about how this works:

• The first initiator in the chain that ultimately leads me to a full-time job gets the cash (via Paypal)
• It has to be a full-time position in South Bay or Santa Cruz area… or virtual office
• If you want to use the same method for finding yourself a job, I’d appreciate a quick mention linking back to this blog
• that’s it!
