I guess I've had my head in the sand the past month or so and missed a couple of important blog birthdays. Oops! Well better late than never.
On May 15th Jason Alba over at JibberJobber celebrated his first blog birthday. JibberJobber for those of you who don't know is a great job search tool that helps you organize your job search. It allows you to organize your contacts, keep track of your appointments, follow-up on interviews and other useful stuff. Much of the functionality is free and a there is also a very reasonably priced premium service. Check it out. Jason has done a great job in developing this tool and is constantly upgrading its capability. This a great tool for any job seeker (a perfect birthday present). Jason also runs a very good blog with a lot of practical advice.
On May 30th Kent Blumberg's blog also celebrated its first birthday. Kent is the one that got me started blogging and also introduced me to Jason Alba. Kent's blog is about leadership, strategy and performance and provide useful insight into succeeding in business as a leader.
Both Jason and Kent have become good friends and were instrumental keeping me sane during my job search. They're the kind of friends you always hoped you'd have. I wish I knew how to say it better but words fail me so I'll simply say - Thanks guys and happy birthday!

[blushing] Mike, thank you :) You are a good man and inspired me as I saw you navigate through your transition. There is a lot others can learn from you - I certainly have learned a lot!
