Job Hunting: Isn't Something Magical Supposed to Happen Now That I'm on LinkedIn? The New York Public Library

Welcome!

This blog is meant to be a light-hearted and irreverent forum for thoughts, ideas and assumptions which circle the intersection of three seemingly disparate topics:

Jobs, Running and Nature.

My posts here come from 3 points of view.

1. As a Senior Manager who works for a Nonprofit that provides Housing and Employment for people seeking self sufficiency, I am always seeking to provide appropriate job search and career advice. We all have to work, so I hope to share some pointers to make that part of our life a little more successful...And hopefully more fun and rewarding!

2. As a trained social scientist, I am intrigued by the anthropology of Work and how employment influences and is influenced by our present (postmodern?) age of Globalization. Like it or not humans created this world we now live in...far away from nature and deep within the cultural constraints of far-reaching economic machinery...With that in mind, it is only by understanding what we have created that we can push it in directions we agree with.

3. Finally, as an avid 'long distance runner' as well as an out-spoken 'naturalist', I have gained a healthy repect for how everything in life is connected. I enjoy finding those connections and seeing the bigger picture of how and why the world around us moves as it does.

With these 3 vantage points in mind, please read on and add your point of view!
