Yesterday i was laid off for the second time in 18 months working in an industry that lays off the best of the best by the thousands as fast as the dow industrials goes down 100 points. the comments coming from the listers has been so encouraging. I have truly made many many very deep friendships through this network of car guys.

I ask you to pray for me and my great family. Today was 55 degree and not a cloud in the sky ..i finished building my race car - a project of love now 2 years. with the unexpected day off I finished her and she is entering her first DE as i prepare to race her in the club race 2009. as I sort her out i will continue being an instructor serving also on our Lone Star region Board.

I found something that EVERY one of you will want to take a close close look, especially if you have a job or career. I mean it.

I have a 17 yr old and a 14 yr old with their very own Face Book page (which we monitor)I was always wondering if there is anything close but more robust for the true professional and hobbiest

I HAVE THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION FOR ADULTS I JUST FOUND. I used this 2 years ago during my first layoff and now I am using it again with more more attention to detail.

They have given me my own link...you can have yours for free as well.
It was recommended by the placement professional I met with which my laying off company paid and provide (aren't they the best)

you have to see if for yourself
this is mine

you can use this even for our hobbies personal interests and so much more

I've been using this for a while now. It seems like quite an established tool for the industry that I'm in (video games)

I use this purely for work to network with other professionals in my industry and I have used it to head hunt when looking for new staff.

Best of luck Jackson. I have been using Linked In for about 5 years now and I think it is a great way to network. This is a great place for you to start. What type of work did you do and what are you looking to do now?
