Welcome to the New Job Champion!

Hello Job Hunters!
I have recently agreed to take over the JobChampion Blog by its owners.
I agreed to do this right away, as I liked the great posts by Jen, who started the blog.
I’ve also been advised that my earlier posts were a little dry, and written in a “how to” textbook way. This probably reflects the writing I do at work, which is dry (yes, I do have a job).
“Personalize your blog” they said, and so I will.
So … here's a few lines about me. I am looking for a job right now, due to expanding family and expanded health care costs (we’re having a baby in June – a sister for our 7-yr old boy).
I’m in sales – and proud of it. I currently sell to engineers who design electronics. My new job may be in this industry, or it may be in a new industry.
I feel that I’m qualified to talk about job hunting because I do have a lot of experience. I’ve been unemployed four times since 2000. In my management roles I have hired at least 20 people, and have had the unpleasant duty of firing a number of people. I’ve been on both sides of the “layoff conversation” several times. I've worked in several industries and in three different countries.
So, I’m committing to check this blog on most days, and posting every week.
I want this to be a blog where job seekers can come for some amusement and to exchange ideas as we work towards finding the new job in these times.
