		<title>My job-eggs are not in one job-basket</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where have I been the last 11 days?
I thought you&#8217;d never ask!
It&#8217;s a delicate balance maintaining a blog that&#8217;s currently centered around my job search, but not making all the posts about me.  That&#8217;s no way to attract new readers or Twitter followers, and with no real news to report on the open position [...]]]></description>

		<title>Navigating the First Month of Unemployment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever felt oddly confident about a situation, for no particular reason?
I assure you there&#8217;s nothing currently sitting on my professional doorstep.  Yet, I can&#8217;t help but be encouraged by the direction of my entire job-seeking process.  Aside from what you&#8217;re seeing publicly with my &#8220;Hire Me, Red Wings!&#8221; campaign, there are several other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hockeytown Blog Undergoes Facelift</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A message on Facebook yesterday from the &#8220;Official Detroit Red Wings&#8221; page was my first clue that something was up.

FYI &#8230; a new CMS version of the NHL&#8217;s team Web sites caused DetroitRedWings.com to go haywire for awhile this week. All better now. Thanks for your patience!

That explains why I was landing on NHL.com when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Red Wings Bloggers and Credentials</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I&#8217;m using bullet points as the format du jour in honor of a my first paintball experience this past weekend.  Despite several welts of varied grossness (photos available if you ask nicely via Twitter or Facebook), it was great time!  Chicago was the location, and a friend&#8217;s impending nuptials were the reason for celebration.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Finally, the debut of the Hire Me, Red Wings Podcast!
In today&#8217;s first ever episode, I start out by giving you a little more information about little ol&#8217; me.  For some of you this will be old news, but for others it&#8217;s relevant.
Our guest is the legendary Paul Kukla from Kukla&#8217;s Korner and NHL.com.  We get [...]]]></description>

		<title>Temporarily Snakebitten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Of all mornings, why did it have to happen this morning?
You see, my laptop has this nagging problem with its screen.  From time to time it angrily flickers, sometimes fading to black, but soon returning as if nothing happened.  At times I places pens or markers underneath the area where the keyboard and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Step Two:  Act.  Now.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve got plenty of visitors coming to the site.
We&#8217;ve got lots of people who &#8220;like&#8221; the Facebook page.
We&#8217;ve got followers on Twitter as well, but far less.  Why?
By now you&#8217;ve probably read somewhere that Twitter&#8217;s audience, on average, is much older than what you&#8217;ll find on Facebook.  Inherently, Twitter is also geared more toward professionals [...]]]></description>

		<title>For Your Consideration</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we hit the first weekend of this campaign, I ask those of you who have visited this site (or the Twitter and Facebook pages) to truly consider the power of social media &#8211; even those of you outside the United States that continue to visit my site.  Yes, I see you.
On Monday, just five [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dave Coulier, An Octopus, Memories, and More Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dave &#8211; freaking &#8211; Coulier!
Yes, that Dave Coulier checked in with @HireMeRedWings on Twitter yesterday, saying that he liked my style and asked if the Red Wings had any job openings.  Indeed they do, Dave (I can call you Dave, right?).  And the job that&#8217;s open is the one I&#8217;m after.  Thanks to your simple [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update:  Social Networking Coordinator &#8211; Detroit Red Wings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When you start something like a social media campaign to try and land a dream job with the Detroit Red Wings, it&#8217;s hard to gauge what the reaction will be.  Of course your closest friends will back the effort, but you&#8217;re really trying to engage people who are outside of your circle, focusing instead on [...]]]></description>
