I'm not too big on wacky self-promotion myself, but I love it when others do it. Especially when they do it well!
One of my fav bloggers, Communicatrix, has entered a contest put on by SouthWest Airlines. And, to win, she needs 'thumbs-up' votes. Her video is wacky, and fun. Go vote for her already! C'mon, there's nobody at work this week anyway!

It's been almost 8 full months since I started this blog, and it has been a lot of fun to write for you.
One of the challenges is in putting myself in your shoes and then writing what you want or need to hear. Some days, this is really easy, and other days not so much.
I was reading Copyblogger today, and Liz had a great post that caused a 'duh' moment for me. You know, those times when someone makes a recommendation and you think, "DUH, I should have done that long ago..."
The suggestion is to have your readers contact you and even suggest things for you to write (duh).
With that, let's open things up. If you want me to write about something related to recruiting, send me an email, write a comment, get in touch w/me about it. I'll take your base suggestion, and assuming it's recruiting, or technology related, I'll write about it, confidentially of course. Shoot, I'll even write about stuff off these topics if they are fun or funny (but beware my sense of humor, it's definitely not mainstream)!

I've been waiting patiently for this moment to arrive, and I'm pleased to announce that my two recruiting partners, Gina Peckman and Chris Englin have started their blog, Seattle Executive Recruiting.
Pretty exciting stuff!
Gina and Chris are VERY experienced recruiters, and they are danged good at what they do. I will not mention anything about how long they've been at this, but suffice it to say they are highly experienced. And effective.
Looking forward to see their posts - should be more than a few gems in there!

One of the things I truly love about my work as a tech recruiter is meeting technologists and hearing what they have to say about their work.
Today, a recent introduction of mine sent me a link to a blog that really rocks: CTO/CIO Perspectives. This blog is written by Peter Kretzman. I read through several of the posts, and said, "Wow. This guy is good, he speaks the truth. My readers need to know about this one." So, I've added CTO/CIO Perspectives to my blogrole.
So, Peter, thanks for the blog. And John, thanks for the intro!
