Here's an idea. With your experience in public relations and creatitivity, Why dont you market the resumes of people in similar situations ( may be through this website or may be new one) and make money :-).

Wish you all the best.

To the person making $20k/year complaining about Michael's desire to earn more money, I say this (some of this is going to sound repetitive):

My family and I invested about $80,000 on my 5 years of college (state college, double major in finance/accounting). That's 5 years that you were working that I chose to focus on my education instead.

Remind me again in which country do we live? The last time I checked we were a capitlist system, where it's ok for me to choose to invest in my future and to reap the rewards of doing so. Should we all earn $20k/year and have to "figure out how to make it work?" Yes, Doctor, I'd like fries with my double bypass surgery. I'll pass on that notion, thank you very much.

Finally, I would like to point out that for each employment transition I have made in my life, excepting roles where I have been self-employed (as I am now), my new employer based my compensation in no small part on my previous salary. For professionals, it is very difficult to restore earning potential once it has been given up, voluntarily or otherwise.

So what you're saying in your general argument is that he should suck it up and climb back down the ladder to do whatever job he can find, foregoing his education and training and work experience, just go earn a paycheck. I disagree, and I applaud Michael's innovation in applying his obviously vast creative talents to keep his resume sharp and focused on his professional career.

Best of luck to you Michael! Something tells me you are headed for bigger and better things...


With regards,

This is defiantly a very creative way to get your name out there. Very cool. But after reading some of the comments, why are we so hung up on getting a J-O-B. These things called Jobs are all but temporary. American was not founded on people coming to American to get a J-O-B. People came, and are at this very instant, for the opportunity of FREEDOM. Fight for it. Go into business for yourself and experience the very foundation this great country was created on. There are so many options out there today because of the internet to make extra money. Build a business and you'll never ever have to look for another J-O-B again. Fight for your FREEDOM.

If anyone out there in interested to know more about what am talking about e-mail me

Good Luck to the J-O-B hunt Michael.

Michael: We need thinking and action like yours at the brand new Peace of the Pie. You could help business folks who really, really need it. And change the world at the same time. What do you think?

Hi Michael,

I don't have a job lead for you, but I was in a similar position not too long ago and also made a web site to try and get through it: http://www.happyjobsearch.com . It helps you organize your leads and keep track of what to do next. It's completely free, so I hope you don't mind my mentioning it here!
