Jibber Jobber has a great, timely article up by Megan Fitzgerald that mirrors a lot of the points I like to make. And, she goes a bit further, especially with the “help others” type of thing. Me? I’m a jerk, so this never occured to me….
Oh, and looking for a job near Boston? Apply here, we’re hiring!

Hi Martin,
I tried contacting you a while ago but never received a response, can you please email me so we can discuss my proposal?
Thanks

Chris – Don’t recall an email from you, and couldn’t find anything in my Outlook (searched it using Zipi, Xobni, etc).
Could you resend?
And: nice, cautionary tale for job seekers. E-mails don’t always get where they should, and are faily passive. Use the phone to follow up….
