a Wife's perspective

I am a working professional who watches my husband trying at every opportunity to find the next job. Needless to say, we remain hopeful, but the process is frustrating. I am inspired by the Fortune article "Find Job in a tough Economy" in a creative way, and have now decided to take matters into my own hand to help my husband.

Why should you hire my husband? His resume will speak to his experience and professional background in corporate marketing and business development, what I do think you should know are his characters:

1. He genuinely cares about people - he goes out his way to help those who are in need, at work or in life. Remember the movie "what women want" starring Mel Gibson? The young intern with glasses will be the one my husband would have helped.
2. He doesn't frazzle under pressure - he doesn't get frazzled by pressure or stress, he did not start to scream at me when I was spinning the car out in the 10 inch snow on interstate; he just ask me in normal voice to instead tap on the brakes rather than step fast on them which was how I got us into the situation. Our car stopped after 2 360-degree turns 2 inches in front of a semi.
3. He is creative and entrepreneurial - he taught himself how to develop databases for a website using PHP in 3 short months. And he created a professional IT services consulting company helping small businesses.

I have hope, and I believe luck will find those who try.
