It’s aliiive! Just a short while ago, on November 7th, The Careerist went live with its first post on the recent extension of unemployment benefits. That was the first of many posts that I’m planning to bring to you, week in and week out, that cover all sorts of career advancement and development-related issues.
While I won’t regurgitate what has already been said on the about page, I would like to take a minute to thank you for stopping by and checking out The Careerist. Although I’m the new kid on the block for the time being, I have big plans for the blog over the coming months and I really hope you’ll join me for the ride by vising often, or better yet, subscribing by RSS or email.
A couple of other things while I’m at it – first, if you’d like to contribute by writing an article, I’d be more than happy to feature it as a guest post, assuming it meets my basic editorial guidelines. Of course you’ll receive full attribution as well as a link back to your website.
Also, I want to briefly mention how much I appreciate it when you guys take the time to share an article that you find particularly interesting. By sharing, you effectively increase readership and participation and that ultimately leads to a more dynamic and engaging community, so I thank you for that support.
Now, on to this week’s links!
