Thank you Mike Yepp, My Video Blogs on Recruiting are making a comeback!

Monday night, I'm driving home... after a twitter tag back and  forth with the amazing Mike Yepp,  Manager of Business Development and Marketing for Gravity (www.gravity.com). We met a few years back when we were both setting up shop at Newscorp's Incubator, Slingshot Labs.  Not only is he great at what he does, we both share a love for tennis, and both of us growing up in the tennis scene.  He's a Nick Bolletieri's alumni (lucky!).

As our conversation is coming to an end, he said "I love your video blog".  I said "really?"
"Ya, it's a great idea.  We all have questions about recruiting, and never know who to ask."

I started it one weekend, and the next I got sick.  To be honest, I didn't think you all wanted to see me in my pajamas holding a tissue box.  Then I got all nervous and self conscious that it wasn't a great idea.  I'm around Marketing and Social Media geniuses all day long, I didn't know I could play ball in the same arena as them.

So it's officially, I'm back... and my Video Blogs about Recruiting will be surfacing this weekend... stay tuned.

Send me any of your questions about scoring the right job, how to interview, how to write a resume, etc.
