[...] Paul lives in the UK, where he says the new media phenomenon has yet to catch fire among the marketing community. There simply aren’t enough Pauls or Hughs to go around, it seems. Recently, Paul has found himself without employment, and has publicly blogged about his search, his struggle to find just the right fit, and the question of whether to publish one’s CV online. [...]

Paul, don’t put your cv down it works ok. I have seen some horrors and your’s is not in that bracket! And similarly don’t let the advice of recruitment luddites get you down. Questions:

1. Does it have to be Manchester?
2. Does it have to be employment?

Read Positve Churn http://positivechurn.blogspot.com/, do some background on us http://www.severndelta.co.uk and http://www.enterpriseirregulars.com/EI/20838

We have some other ventures in the incubator which remain off radar at the moment. But if the above makes you curious enough come and have coffee.

Paul,

fix the link to your linkedin profile, the one that you have now is showing ‘myprofile’ so the only one who see your’s is you … maybe it’s a sign and is time to become self-employed

Hi Paul,

Saw Hugh’s link to you and happy to share with you what I told him. I have seen advice like what you received – and at the same time I see more push towards alternative vehicles like blogs, wikis, etc. My current position came about through networking, but it’s a staid enough company that a CV was required eventually. That I expect will be the last CV I ever submit; instead I am putting together a wiki that will have all of my presentations (including audio streams), my publications and e-books, samples of my work, and at the very top of the home page, a prebuilt Google query that will allow interested parties to search on me. Not all the links will be to me of course, but I think that provides a much better picture of who I am than any CV can.

Hope this helps – best of luck to you!

Your linked in profile link is your internal one, not the external one – it does not take you you the right place!

Good luck on this – have you tried looking at Chinwag jobs, they seem to have a good listing
