Sorry for missing this, I didn’t get the pingback.
Thanks for including my article!
And thanks for including my giveaway, too! I really should check people’s roundups more often so I don’t miss these kind gestures!
Thanks Wise Squirrel! My workload has increased and I’m job hunting at night, so I do apologize for not visiting nearly as often. Have a great end of week!
Crystal – I hope the job search is going well. Check the job boards, Get a Linkedin profile set up (if you don’t have one already), and network away! You have a great end of week as well.
