Ok, I’m not one for fabricated holidays – especially when they’re crammed between two real holidays like Halloween an Election Day, but this one is important (and it doesn’t require sending anyone any gifts). It’s called Job Action Day, and it’s this Monday. It was initiated by Randall S. Hansen, the founder and publisher of Quintessential Careers, and he has invited me to participate in Job Action Day 2008, which is set for this Monday, November 3rd. I’m excited to be a part of this, because it’s a day for job-seekers and workers to confront the current economic crisis head-on and take action steps to improve their careers. (You can read the full press release here.)
