Previously, we heard that Andrew read this blog and got a job, now more success stories that people are connecting –and getting jobs from reading the web strategy blog, this is great news. I’ve been given permission to publish this email from Jonathan:
Hi Jeremiah,
Thanks for your DM. It would be my pleasure to share my story… one of your tweets (almost two months ago) mentioned your job feed on your site. Feeling quite unsettled in my current position, I click and found what looked to be a perfect job. I fired off my resume and received a call the next day from the hiring manager. After a series of calls and an intense day of interviews, I received an offer! My new job is Web Director at the Association of Corporate Counsel. It’s a logical step in my career and should involve a good deal of strategy and operations.
I gave my official notice today — my manager was in a state of shock. I, on the other hand, am so excited to move.
Best regards,
Jonathan Kash
PS Aside from my gratitude for all you do for the community (including the job feed), I certainly owe you a drink! I’ll be blogging about my experience once the department knows (law firms are such a strange environment).
Congrats Johnathan, I’ll take that drink, red wine is a fav.
You can find jobs, connect with others, and read other case studies by clicking the “on the move” section. Or, see the Web Strategy Job Board, where recruiters are posting jobs (paid) and a dynamic listing is available.
This is great! I love seeing success stories of people connecting on the digital frontier! But we should not forget that there is a big recession period is going on and definitely it was a very hard truth for us but we shouldn’t disappoint with it. We should face the problem as we all know that life is not a bed of roses so we should have patience and i hope the recession period will be end as soon as possible. Great post and I look forward to reading more! :).My goal is to leverage that experience and transition to a career as a web strategist or web project manager someday.
