ah, lauren...you are soooo much a better writer than Nora Roberts,,,and wiser too...if you wanted to, I bet you could write a really good romance, that would be in the class of Gone with the Wind, not just any trash....I like that 'urban/hippie/new…
Oh, and btw...LinkedIn removed my Logo, because they said it wasn't a photo, and would make it hard for people who did not know me to recognize me! I protested, telling them that the 'image' that I had was my logo, and associated with me, and those…
hi Lauren
Such an interesting article. I am a little dismayed by the thought that 'all I am' can be whittled down to a message that is delivered in 20 seconds or so. I suppose my reaction to having to 'brand' myself comes from my own work history,…
Hi Kelly
Well, you at least know one thing, that working alone is not for you. That being said, here's my take on it...Around 5 years ago, the latest business fad in Banking and Technology was 1. Merge/Takeover and 2. Outsource. So, I found myself…
Hi Jerry
Of course, I am expanding my skills, what else is there to do except send letters & resumes! I am learning Python, and google Apps, and building test websites for fun, and possible side work, while I search for my next QA job.
Having fun,…
NYC comment # 6
We are all busy looking for jobs, and too busy to comment here...NYC - fast, furious ad just too busy...
well, not exactly...
I was talking about the actual work that can be done, away from the physical office, especially in IT...jobs like mine, which is QA and Testing, or other jobs like programming, or anything that requires you to be in front of a…
This reminds me of oDesk, a service I checked out, that requires workers to download software and get certified. Basically, aspects of work are then documented. Is this the kind of thing you are talking about?
I was looking for the other side of the story, that of the beleaguered employer that has to wade through all these irrelevant unqualified applicants for a single job or two, or the harried recruiter who seems never to be there when you need them. I…
well, keith...
I'm happy you are not looking for work, too... and it is very helpful to have a shoulder to lean on, and a mentor, in any times, especially tough times like now...your middle-aged friends are lucky to have you. I would think, from all…
Years ago, a while before this current catastrophe, I was looking at how I could ply my craft while staying at home, and investigated telecommuting. I was convinced that
1. I could do more/better work from home (I am very self disciplined)
2. Any b…
great blog, Lauren...good writing, nice flow, sincere feeling...all the marks of a writer! good for you. This mess is bringing out talent, some hidden, and some just need a little fresh material.
Wecome to NY, and keep witing ...
good, safe advice...I only question the obvious...this is normal sage advice, appropriate in normal times, and even in tough times.. but this is different... we are not seeing jobs at all, and the few that are there seem to be phantoms - they appear…

- Kristen, I once worked with a fellow by the name of Bob Steen down here in the Dallas, TX area. Any relation? He was one fine businessman and quite the technophile.
Some time ago, I picked up a quote that goes something like this - "There are three haves in life - need to have, nice to have, nuts to have, and we only spend a dollar once ... so make sure it is a wise investment".
While out looking for work a couple of months ago, I found something which when I looked closer, reminded me of that quote. It looked like one of those web sites that had some gloss and some promise, but what was the cost to be?
As Gomer Pyle would say "Surprise, surprise, surprise!". I signed on as a member and began adding others to my little village on the Internet. Just this past Monday, I received the news that the company accepted my application to become a Global Executive. Now the work begins.
Oh, the cost? Nothing. That pretty well fits all three of the "haves" in my life. So, I am off and running. If you have any interest in what this is all about, take a look through my portal to the future.

Thus ends this marketing pitch. Hope to see you on the other side.

the remote job - it is really remote
Years ago, a while before this current catastrophe, I was looking at how I could ply my craft while staying at home, and investigated telecommuting. I was convinced that
1. I could do more/better work from home (I am very self disciplined)
2. Any body I worked for would be happy to have me working those extra 2-3 hours I'd save in commuting
3. The technology was ready - with a phone line, a satellite dish, and electricity I could connect to any computer anywhere.
