About Anthony Balderrama

Anthony Balderrama writes about hiring trends, workplace issues and job search tactics for CareerBuilder.com and its blog The Work Buzz. He was born and raised in Dallas (115° degrees isn’t hot!) before moving to Chicago (-23° isn’t cold!). He studied creative writing, therefore everything he writes is usually cut in half once he realizes he spent 400 words just on the intro. He knows that looking for a job and dealing with co-workers are not always fun activities, and reading about them is even less thrilling. That’s why he’ll take any opportunity he can to mention his favorite TV show or band in an article. Basically Anthony’s doing whatever he can to avoid hate mail.

Hi,
I've read your blog and I think I have something that you or your readers may be interested in…
My name is Sarah Small. I am an assistant of Jeff Rivera's at Gumbo Writers, and we are wondering if you are interested in some content regarding finding work in this day and age as a young professional, as well as maintaining a successful business. As you well know, right now there is an enormous group of recent college and university graduates that are more than qualified, yet remain either unemployed, or stuck in undesirable positions.
We are working with Johnny C. Taylor, Jr. You may have seen him on The Today Show or heard of his book "The Trouble With HR: An Insider's Guide to Finding and Keeping the Best People." We put together a bunch of video tips, audio samples, and written interviews for websites that are interested in helping members of this younger generation break into the workforce successful. The reason I put the content together was partially to get the word out about Johnny but also because I know how crucial of a topic it is, and felt that the information is extremely relevant, especially now with the economy's downturn (and hopefully, it's future upturn, fingers crossed).
If you're interested in checking any of it out, please feel free to send me an email at assistant7.jeffrivera@gmail.com and I'd be more than glad to show you some more samples. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTs--xZlQP0

Thank you for your time,
Sarah
