JEM Consulting - Help For Self Employed and Small Business Web Site Owners

I posted this video on my LinkedIn Additional Resources page as well. I wanted to get it up when I found it and distribute to my email list of job seekers quickly. I reviewed it again after that and summarize it below, adding my comments. Brian Henshey interviewed Bob McIntosh, a LinkedIn expert from Career [...]

I am doing several local presentations in September on LinkedIn for business people and job seekers. Most are free of charge but there is either a slight membership fee ($100 annual) or a per presentation fee for the two ‘career’ centers below. I also present my monthly scheduled two part job seeker’s class on using [...]

Yes, we see all the bad news as the US market went down, way down yesterday. And as of this writing there is a slight gain on Friday. Hey, U.S. payroll rose in July. A bank may be charging companies to keep money in the bank because there is so much of it (money)? Seems [...]

Larry Kim of WordStream published an article last week which talked about the sources of Google’s revenue stream last year. It kind of blew my mind!
