What do you do to best represent you? Quick note: I initially wrote this as a submission to another site that was asking people to contribute their thoughts behind the idea of non-graphic (i.e. account management) professionals having a portfolio. At the time, I was still searching for work and put together the post below. However, I didn’t complete the write up in time to be considered, as the site had already selected the post to publish. Given that it’s been over 7 months since I wrote this, I figured it would be OK to publish on my site, with some minor edits. With that being...

This post today is being written for those companies throughout the U.S. that have positions posted, but seem to be stalled in their hiring; or failing to do so. By “failing to do so”, this is not meant for companies that are still on a hiring freeze or those that do not have the budget to hire another person, rather, this is meant for the companies that...

I’m not ready to call this my “first” post just yet, even though it technically is.  I am still testing and setting up twitter at the same time.  I would like to find a better wordpress layout, but for now, this is fine.  I am hoping to initially chronicle about the day I was laid off and then have subsequent posts about where I am currently at.  With that being said, I shall return…
