What an amazing year! I can bore you with details on our ridiculous traffic growth or how Jobacle continues to establish itself as a major career advice and employment news destination. Instead, I rather thank each and every one of our loyal readers and listeners from the bottom of my heart.
Jobacle was partially created because of a void I felt existed with career Websites. The advice they dish is generic, many of their writers have no clue what it’s like to live in the trenches and they all have an agenda to sell, sell, sell!
At the rapid rate we’ve grown, you have proven that I am not the only one who thinks this way. You’re tired too. We might not be able to eradicate the world of people still willing to click on "How to Network at the Holiday Party" or "Bullet Points and Your Resume," but we sure can try!
We have huge plans for 2008. We hope you’ll join us for the ride by subscribing to the blog and the podcast.
Now let’s take a look back at some Jobacle ’07 highlights:
