Thanks for the likes, guys. Please let me know if you hear of anything! :) I'm already starting to switch in to 'hit the bricks' mode. Not that I was ever very good at it. - Phil Glockner

Phil, where are you located? - James Ferguson

You got it Phil. - Hutch Carpenter

I'm in (well, near) Austin TX. I actually live about 3 miles away from Dell HQ in Round Rock. - Phil Glockner

I posted a site here in the past week or so that had all kinds of PR positions. Let me know if you don't see it and I'll see if I can find it. In the meantime, think about what you know how to do that others would pay quick cash for: things like creating Avatars & Favicons, installing plugins on WP blogs. I've got to get it together and start compiling links to people who have these skills because there are many who don't and want to hire them done. - Internet Strategist

PR and marketing would be a stretch for me, I think, I.S. But I'm game, I'll look for openings you are referring to. Thanks! - Phil Glockner

I know how you feel. When I got laid off in January I had a week notice. - Mathew™

D'oh! - Louis Gray

Mathew, when the startup I was working for went under in February, they reversed my last paycheck out of my bank account, leaving me with about a grand in the red. Not fun. - Phil Glockner

Phil, please post your LinkedIn profile URL here and anything else we should look at for reference, thx! I just "shared" this to the "Job Search" room as well for networking power! w00t - Susan Beebe

Phil, Aaron Strout said that Powered was hiring in that PR/Marketing space. If you're game to at least give it a shot, I think he posted it on his blog. http://blog.stroutmeister.com :) - Shawn Farner

Can you post a link to the job search room? - Mathew™

Susan, sure, it's http://www.linkedin.com/in..., I'm going to make it current tonight. I also have a vanity resume page at http://www.johannphilip.com, I'll be updating that too. - Phil Glockner

Thanks Shawn, I'm checking it out - Phil Glockner

By the way, if anybody who reads me here on FF or my blog regularly wants to connect with me on LinkedIn, I would really like that! http://www.linkedin.com/in... - Phil Glockner

Phil please send me a LinkedIn connection invite http://www.linkedin.com/in... ... (my profile is sorta broke?) I can accept, but not send out requests? weird... - Susan Beebe

Sure Susan. Thanks! Oh. We are already linked, which is why you can't do it. ;) - Phil Glockner

OMG I am a retard... hahaha! Thanks Phil :) - Susan Beebe

That's very sad news, Phil. And at Christmas. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

Thanks Kol. It's not unusual for a big business to see contractors as an overhead expense, like a laptop. From that viewpoint, termination before Jan. 1, 2009 is more an accounting process than HR. Of course, that doesn't make me any happier that I didn't get more forewarning.. - Phil Glockner

Phil - drop me a note rmorrill@gmail.com I teach social media, and have a huge openings, course development and teaching (on line or in person). I need to hire 100 people in the next 3 years, the work I get to do is too much to explain here. - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

That offer to Phil goes out to anyone influenced by the failure of companies, I have tons of jobs, almost no one willing to or able to fill them (or those that survive an interview with me). Honest offer - hit me up. Thanks! - Dan Morrill AKA Techwag

Thanks Dan! I have sent you an email, looking forward to chatting with you. - Phil Glockner
