First off, I don't plan on giving up on this blog just because I have a job now. I just plan on writing a more "professional" tips type blog to help and inspire others to keep searching.
I start my new job on September 3 and I have to say it wasn't without a few "outside the box" tweaks on the supposed professional advice that everyone seems to be giving these days. Over the past 9 months I've realized that advice about the "right way" to find a job is about a dime a dozen. Everyone thinks they have THE WAY to do it. There are step by step guides, recruiters who get mad at you when you don't follow "their rules," companies that want you to shell out anywhere from $50 - 2,000 for resume writing services and "job search coaching."
I'm going to spend the rest of this blog giving pointers on which of the ideas are good & which ones you should throw out with last week's pizza box. It's truly up to you to feel out the companies that you're interviewing with to figure out how to handle both the interview and the follow up. I can tell you that the experience that got me this new job did not fall into any of the typical categories, I just had to read the atmosphere at the office and went with my gut.
I want to thank all of you for your support over the past few months and I look forward to sharing this latest adventure with you.
