Below is an article from Mark Haluska, one of my Guerrilla Job Search boot camp instructors, who wrote about what I and another job seeker are doing. Feel free to read.

Let’s face it everyone, with some exceptions of course, the job market is “abysmal.” Rather than sitting around and whining about the state of the economy, Kenrick and Matt are taking the bull by the horns.
Kenrick is a certified Guerrilla. As a matter of fact Mr. Chatman just completed our 10 week Job Seeker Boot Camp. During the boot camp, one of the myriad of (not so common) techniques we cover is setting up your own web site for the “ultimate purpose of getting a new job.”
It’s not expensive, but it does take time. In Kenrick’s case it took him about 6 weeks to complete it. Knowing Kenrick as I have been privileged to do the last few months, it is not surprising his approach to finding a new position is novel indeed. Rather than construct a completely self serving web site where it is devoted entirely “Hire Kenrick,” he has also spent countless hours on his site to have a forum for job hunters, inform people about free job seeker seminars which are open to everyone and so much more.
There is a method to Kenrick’s madness. I’ll leave that up to you though to ask him yourself. His time is limited but he is always happy to offer up a little of his advice. Please though, don’t put Kenrick in the position prying him into supplying you with the “job seeker secrets” he learned in our 10 Week Job Seeker Boot Camp. As generous as he is, by agreement and the threat of kidnapping his first born, he can only provide you with instructions on how to join one of our Boot Camps.
Kenrick’s website is: www.jobradiousa.com.
Then there is Matt Bivons. I’ve never met Matt but I would consider him a Guerrilla Job Seeker. Like Kenrick, Matt developed a website. This one though is devoted entirely to “get Matt hired” but not with just anyone, but rather with one specific company. And he quit his former employer to devote time to this effort !
So far, his approach has gotten him the attention of both the Baltimore Sun as well as that specific company he is yearning to work for.
It’s a very interesting article and you can read it here:
