Going on a job hunt.

A parody song of "Going on a Bear Hunt"

We're going on a job hunt! We're going on a job hunt!
We're gonna catch a big one! We're gonna catch a big one!
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
Are you? Are you?
Not me! Not me!

Here comes the interview! Here comes the interview!
I'm gonna catch a big one! I'm gonna catch a big one!
I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid.
Are you? Are you?
Not me! Not me!

We're coming to a big unemployment pool. We're coming to a big unemployment pool.
It sure is high. It sure is high.
It sure is wide. It sure is wide.
Let's climb in it. Let's climb in it.
Well, there's nothing over there. Well, there's nothing over there.
Nothing over there. Nothing over there.
Nothing back there. Nothing back there.
Hey! Wait! I think I see something!!!


It seems like good news is a-coming. This morning, I received a lovely email from Talent Zoo about the current state of advertising jobs (per job postings on their site). It read something like this:

"Hello Talent Zoo Members! We are writing to take a special opportunity to let you know some statistics we've compiled. It's always fun for us to share good news.

From August 1st - September 15th, we have seen a 53% increase in job postings for the advertising/marketing/digital/media fields over the prior 45 days. And, compared to the January 1 - February 15 2009 period there has been a 160% increase in new job opportunities. We still have a long way to go, but things are headed in the right direction. Not surprisingly, the healthiest sector remains digital marketing and media."


In keeping with the "Going on a Bear Hunt" outdoors theme, here's another piece from my portfolio. This one was done about two years ago for REI, an outdoor enthusiast's store. In general, the feedback has been that you either get it or you don't. Go enjoy the outdoors if you do. Cheers!
