ERI Network.....

On the job hunt....hooked up with ERI network and have taken their marketability comparison analysis.  Additionally, I'll most likely be utilizing their services to help cut down my placement.  I need to maximize my visibility and I can't do this alone.

I'm looking for middle management; something angled towards growth in the finance (this can be a new or emerging market field) as this is my background.  I'd love to utilize my Project Management training further and convince myself that is wasn't just a waste of time to pursue.  I have often managed staff towards defined goals, training, coaching and developing them as they go.  The pay structure sought is about the same...$75 - $85 k + benefits and bonus (negotiable).

I can help you meet your goals and perform.  If you're current staff is not getting you where you need to be, then call me to discuss your situation; I'm sure I can lend some direction.

Beautiful Day!!

Today just smacks of spring.  They say we'll hit 80 degress today...The tress are blooming and the frogs are already croaking.  I can hear them all the way from the lake. 

I'll be heading over to Home Depot this afternoon to buy all the seasonal items and start planning the flower beds.  Logan (my cub scout) helped me plant flowers yesterday and plan for his window box plants.  That was a hoot!

Job responses are pretty much reserved to the insurance companies at this point.  I just finished my PMP school work and I am collecting proof of work on projects to submit for the PMP exam & credentials.  I'll keep you posted.  I remain optimistic about an intelligent company in need of a dedicated individual calling soon.  I'm jazzed & ready to go!!  C'mon America, we have a lot of work to do to get out of the economic mess we're in.

I was asked today to be the President elect of the local Kiwanis chapter I am part of!  Wow what an honor.  I said I'd be glad to but with some instruction and direction...I don't want to let them down.

Tonight is skate night at Skate USA with my sons 2nd grade class.  Should be fun.  We went ice skating last week...now roller skating.  These guys are wearing me out!!

Oh, thank you Anderson window company for the window quote today!!  We'll be putting together our plans and contacting you soon.  I'm excited about this because our current windows are horrible and I can't take another winter with high heating bills....it's killing me.

Mobile Marketing....

This is going to be big.  I was watching CNN this morning and they were reporting from the wireless show in California.  Lots and lots of cool gadgets and 'ideas' coming forward.  Wow, my head is still spinning.  They also covered the mobile marketing arena and impressed upon the viewers that advertisers and marketers are really just starting to crack the code, so to speak.  Very exciting and interesting indeed.

This last week has been really busy.  Trying to recruit Kiwanis members....anyone?...anyone?  Feel free to shoot me a note or stop by a meeting.  We usually meet at the Bolingbrook Golf Course the 1st and 3rd Wednesday's of the month.  We are trying to schedule PM meeting to accomodate the working class too.  Give me a shout if you want to volunteer some time helping kids locally!

This week & last I had some great business opportunities and job opportunities too.  A couple of well placed banks, management companies looking for talent, and insurance companies barking at my door.  It's about time~!  Guess they know talent when they see it.  The shoe happens to be on the other foot with some of these companies, however.  It's nice to be considered to lead at these companies but interviews work both ways and some of these companies will never be run well because of past cultural distruction.  Accountability works both ways it seems.

Back to the mines!!  I'll post more later...have to fnish some school work and stock screening for tomorrow.

(what are your thoughts on the new health care bill?  discussions welcome....)

Career booster...

The career front is moving along nicely...a couple more interested folks calling and scheduling appointments for opportunities.  These could be promising.  Also, I will be working part time in April on something very big (can't say right now) but it gives me great satisfaction.  I'll post during the event...

Looking at the Mobile Marketing segment and pentrating it locally.  Focusing specifically on the hispanic segment and earning trust in that arena.  Exploring relations with a company called Hipcricket (you read that right), .mobi and Dreamhost.com.

Leasing agent in town will not budge on the square foot amout he's asking ($18+ $4 taxes) so I'm not moving on that just yet.  I love the location but he's a bit high for the location.  I'll keep plying my craft.

Keep in touch old friends...call every once in a while I won't bite (much).
