Founder and Editor

jobacleJobacle.com is a popular career advice blog that I launched in 2005.  Created to offset the generic career advice offered by the big job boards, Jobacle strives to offer unique and interesting content that often goes against conventional wisdom.  Unlike most career blogs, Jobacle does not sell job listings.   The goal is to offer career advice that puts the employee first.

Jobacle has been featured in/on The Washington Post, Chicago Sun-Times, Globe & Mail, Nielsen, Reuters, NBC,  Forbes, Gawker, SIRIUS Radio, BBC Radio 4, Yahoo! and dozens of other major blogs.

Project Highlights:

– Successfully achieved all goals, coming in under budget.

– Worked successfully with dozens of employees and outside vendors.

– Managed six-figure budget

– Selected new Content Management System

– Present concepts and progress to organization’s upper-management and president

Check out a before and after image. I am proud that we were able to reduce clutter while still promoting our core business initiatives.

There have been elements of each job that I’ve enjoyed, and of course, things that I haven’t been a huge fan of.
