For about 6 months now I’ve been working for somewhat of an employment guru. She owns an extremely successful permanent placement direct hire staffing agency and a career counseling sister company to boot. She’s been in the biz for 25 years and I have to be honest, this woman knows her stuff. I look back to my almost fruitless job searchesIt’s a wonder that she even hired me, because; while I’m all around fabulous, let’s just say my freshly post-college attitude and resume were all wrong.
Today she handed me an article from the paper all about blogs. She tells me, “Corey, I don’t think we’re capitalizing on this like we should be”. (Yes, she’s always this hip and business savvy) So naturally it was my new responsibility to capitalize on the blog craze. Great; I say, it’s another project in a long list, but as I’m writing, I find it oddly freeing to have an outlet for all of the crazies I deal with on a daily basis… and by crazies I mean those poor souls who have NO CLUE about the goings on in today’s career world.
I’m sure I’d have enough material to write my own book right now – my boss already does and did – but I think a blog will do nicely. I hope that my trials, tribulations and dealings with the “career sick” will serve a good purpose for you in what NOT to do, lol.
All names have been changed to protect their identity : )

Oh, and HI! My name is Corey... in case you haven't figured it out. And below is a picture of me and my awesome co-workers who will be contributing (I'm sure) to my postings.
