Its true – I’m cosponsoring a free series of calls on job search feature author Susan Strayer! The other sponsor is Steven Rothberg of CollegeRecruiter.com!
I met Susan a few months ago and we hit it off right away. She has just released a new book called The Right Job, Right Now: The Complete Toolkit for Finding Your Perfect Career. I have flipped through the book and am amazed at what I see (I’ll do a book review on it in a few weeks). Kent Blumberg did a book review on it a few weeks ago – you can read his review here.
I heard Susan interview on a radio show Sunday evening and was really impressed. Her message matches her enthusiasm – I’m really excited about this series and know that I’ll learn a lot from it. I strongly encourage you to register for the free series (there are three topics with a choice of two dates for each topic), and let others know about this.
If you are a recruiter, counselor, coach, etc. feel free to encourage others to sign up – space is limited so don’t delay.

Hey Jason, your stie is back up for me!
Just for some background on Carl’s comment – we were chatting on Friday and he couldn’t get to the blog or website – no one else seemed to have a problem, and we *think* it had to do with his Comcast internet connection. Who knows. Thanks for the update Carl.
