As some of you might know, I recently got a new job after being unemployed for about 9 months.  During my unemployment, I spent a lot of time meeting other people and being involved in a number of job search groups in the Greater Cincinnati area. One of them was the $timulus Job Networking Group, which meets Tuesday evenings at 7 PM at the Barnes & Noble in West Chester, Ohio.

I consider Monte Washburn and others in the group not only as great colleagues, but also as friends.  When I landed my new job, Monte asked if the group could interview me so that I could tell my story for this program.

So, in this special interview (mp3, 40:21, 37 MB) I share how I recently landed my job as a Business Analyst for a company that provides software solutions in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Special thanks to our sponsor: PursuingMeaningfulWork.com. Do visit them and tell Brent I sent you.

If you have a job-hunting success story you’d like to share, please e-mail your contact information to successstories AT howigotmyjob DOT com, and we’ll get in touch to set up an interview.

Please share this episode with someone else who is looking for a job, and tell others about the show. They will thank you for it.
