As Michigan's economy continues to slowly crawl out of the recession, there are still too many people who have been unable to find a job.



Experts say the most effective way to find a jobs is through networking. Wouldn't it be great if we could combine all of our networks to help our neighbors get back to work?



We can. Michigan Job Search would like to provide a forum for job seekers in the state to be guest bloggers and share their stories of the recession and shamelessly promote themselves and their job skills, including a link to their LinkedIn profile.

We're not seeking resumes; we're seeking your story. Tell us how you lost your job, how you're getting by, any current job prospects and a little about your skills. Please include a photo or two of yourself.

Readers of your stories are asked to share any contacts or tips on which companies are hiring for those skills. Anything that might help the job seeker land a new job. We do ask that commenters only provide feedback and assistance, not criticism. Working together, we can help our neighbors get back to work.

If you would like to promote yourself on the blog, send an email to me at
