IT Jobs are being outsourced and offshored at an alarming rate. I was in corporate IT for over 20 years until I got sick of depending on a big corporation. Are you ready for a change? Find out about a career where YOU are the only limit to your income potential, you still get to use your IT skills, annd you set your own hours.

Thank-you Kevin. The information was insightful, and I am encouraged. I have been challanged in the past on the networking front, but continue to push forward, and am confident this type of information will make my efforts more effective!

I enjoyed listening to Kevin's interview and how he stressed the most important aspect of talking to people about information and their business. Kevin mentioned the importance of joining professional assoiations if one wants to change carers, and doing face time and not just relying on the internet in your job search along with the importance of telling your story with a difference at a networking event, good key points that I will utiize this evening.

Thank you so much Kevin for sharing Michael's interview with us. I agree 100% percent with Beth Harnasch’s comments. What I would like to add is that the points Michael is making at the end of the interview were also extremely helpful: (1) Have a story to tell (who you are, and how are you different), (2) Being able to articulate your job search strategy, the type of companies you are interested in, and the position you are looking for and (3) Being able to show who you have met with (showing the person you are meeting with how seriously you are approaching your job search, and how effective you are in networking) will in the end pay-off and land you the right position. It is an excellent strategic plan, give all of us new ideas and new hopes, and it shows us that if we do the right thing, there is a much better chance of finding light at the end of the dark tunnel most job seekers feel trapped in.

Thank you, Kevin, for sharing this interview with us. I found it be very interesting and informative. Michael gave us all a good reminder about just getting "out" and not staying in our pajamas all day job searching. Long term unemployment can tend to make us more inclined to withdraw. His story helped by pointing out that we must keep going and reaching out to others and I liked that he made a point not to be asking for a "job" so people would not feel put upon or defensive. I think he went about his search very intelligently, and the best part was that he had a wonderful result - a great new job!
