We Now Interrupt This Broadcast...

To Announce A (Temporary) Change In Service.
When I started this blog back in February, I had just become unemployed and had hopes of doing this full time, either through someone backing it and helping me sell advertising or through donations, or maybe a mixture of both. I gave myself a deadline of May 1st to make a decision about it and today is that day. And the decision is that I don’t foresee me ever stopping this blog. I love doing it and have had such positive feedback, it’s really been great. A lot of people tune in every day and I truly appreciate the number of people following and reading TWM.

But...yes, there’s always a but...I really need to start looking for a full time job again.
I appreciate those of you who have contributed, from the bottom of my heart, but it’s just not enough to keep chugging along at this pace. I sent query letters to a lot of editors out there about possible backing for the blog or folding it into their online blogs and got the usual wall of silence in return. So, what I’m going to do is shorten the number of posts a week.

From here on in, until I secure another full time job, I’ll be posting five days a week, Friday through Tuesday and taking off Wednesday and Thursday (with a “real” post on Saturdays, instead of the Blooper Reel). This will allow me a lot more free time to focus on getting a job. Once I get one, I’ll go back to a seven day post schedule. I might have something on the line and I’m hoping to hear about that in the next couple weeks, but till then I have to really start putting my big nose to the grindstone.

I hope I don’t lose too many of you doing this, I’ve really appreciated the number of people who come here daily and I thank you all for reading. And I really want to thank those of you who leave comments here, sometimes the comments section starts a life of its own and I appreciate the commenters for being so loyal!

Okay, I’m off to look at the want ads, post my resume online and bug people on LinkedIn! I’ll see you this Friday for the weekly happy hour and update you on my looking for work status! As always, thanks for reading and stopping by TWM!

Further Reading: indeed, Monster and Career Builder.

I’m out of work,
I need a job,
