Starfishpeople.com, an employment website for the consulting industry, is sponsoring a new blog for job seekers to share their stories, advice, and successes. Starting June 15, a new story from readers will be posted every day.
More from the blog’s Karen Vogel:
Each of these stories will be unique, inspirational, and informative.
Sharing your story might inspire others who are in the same situation. If someone reading this hasn’t personally lost their job, they may have a spouse, friend, or family member that has.
I talk to people every day who share their personal stories. Many of the stories are reflections of how they got caught in a corporate downsizing or mass layoff. What continues to amaze me is how almost everyone I talk to stays positive, upbeat, and optimistic. Some people have even taken this opportunity to motivate and help others. For some job seekers, the entrepreneurial juices took over and they have reinvented themselves.
Maybe you took your situation and turned it into a life-changing opportunity or maybe you are still searching for what’s next.
Either way, we want to hear from you!
This blog project will give you the forum to share your story and advice with others.
Folks who want to share their stories can submit them by e-mail here:
