Hey Chris,

Just catching up on my emails today and saw your broadcast about welcoming new members and the articles they've posted. Thanks for that - so far this ning has been great - some good activity here and opportunity to provide feedback to jobseekers and learn from other career professionals.

Take care and it's Canada Day here today so I would like to wish you and the other Americans on this ning a Happy July 4th!

Hi Chris,

The Business Channel over at b5media will be participating in the Great Blog off this coming Friday, June 20th. Here is the link: http://www.interviewchatter.com/the-great-blog-off/ that will give you more information. I am looking for guest bloggers outside of the Eastern Standard time zone. The goal is have a post every hour for 24 hours. I would like to invite you to participate with me at Interview Chatter. I am open to as many posts as you are willing to write to assist.

Please let me know if you are interested in being a guest blogger and the time zone you live in. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Also, if you know other bloggers in the career niche that may be interested, please let me know. Thanks!

Have a great night!

Hi Chris, I'm a fan of your work and really appreciate the excellent info and resources you provide. If I can help you with a Canadian angle on the job search (and all things career), just give me a holler. :-)

Chris your work here is masterful. In some ways it's a community, others it's a media property, still others it's a "new media information venue".

More importantly, there are people here that care, without them supporting each other. So in many ways this is a compliment to all of the members here.

So in the famous words of a General "I shall return" or the bastardized version of a Governor, "I'll be back" :) all the best
