When I was laid off by Waste Managment in 2005, they provided me and others with a service (DBN, now Next Door Strategies) that would help us with our career search. Cecelia Rose was my 'counselor' during that process. She has now begun a series of YouTube video blogs. This is the one I got today (actually my first from her). I thought it relevent for me, but also maybe for some others here. I will go through her other blog entries as well.

..what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? let them take arms.

Re: Job Seekers
This may have been aimed at me among others, so I watched it. It is good advice, but in my case there was a point at which I realized that trying to find a job in certain fields at my age was about as futile as trying to be a contestant on WWTBAM.

Maybe so, but the advice works for whatever you decide to try to do. Even if just trying to get a better deal on your next car purchase.elwoodblues wrote:This may have been aimed at me among others, so I watched it.

It was not aimed at anyone. And while I thought of you, I also thought of GSABC and his continuing quest for the better job. I'm sure there are others who aren't so open about their current situations. I just thought it a good watch. And yes, she is usually that animated in person.

I used to work for Waste (riding a garbage route was one of my fun facts for BAM auditions), if you took any enjoyable, CBT training or used online help, I may have been the author.
