Great point Morry! That's why you are still the man...!!! Len: Here's my quick and brief thoughts... In today's overhyped and ubiquitous digitally brand focused world...the journey is just as, if not more important, than your desired destination of significance and recognition for your skill set and expertise. You thought process was a good one--asking for help! But, if you've been following this list or others good ones, offering and giving assistance goes a long way, too. Sign with your email address (with personalized domain) or LinkedIn profile. It bound to increase people's awareness of your personality - that you're willing to give to the collective and in turn (a great group) will have you on their short-list and help you as needed. If you haven't begun your digital brand, I'd recommend to start from where you are. Begin to take note of what you have to offer beyond your immediate need of a job or specific skill set. You never know, you may find that what you have to offer is very useful and helpful to many on this list and others as you build your network.

While I agree that posting your resume or experience list to a discussion list might not be the best first step, maybe we can take this opportunity to discuss that initial question posed by Len. In any market but especially right now in our current recession, how can folks just entering the job market like graduating students, or those or re-entering the market or more experienced folks like Len who may have managment experience but not with web or interactive media get into the field? What worked for you? How did you get in the field? What suggestions or recommendations would you give? What things would you do differently if you knew then what you know now? What would you do the same way?
