It wasn’t my idea.  Let’s be clear about that.

Here’s how it happened:  Margo Rose, known as @HRMargo on Twitter, began a shout out called Hire Friday, encouraging people to highlight out-of-work friends and contacts, to help get people back to work.

I liked the idea so much that I used it to publicize a few people on Facebook and Twitter.  Then I received a message from Teresa Morris (@contollergirl), who said she had read my Facebook post and was suggesting “highlight the unemployed”  as a Carnival of HR theme.  Teresa claims to not have sufficient computer skills to host her own Carnival, so I picked up this rolling ball and decided I could put it into play.  I contacted Shauna Moerke, the HRMinion, who is the coordinator of the Carnival.  She said, in her best Captain Picard imitation, make it so.

SO . . .

If you are out of work, unemployed, in transition in the HR (or related) field, let me – and ultimately the Carnival readers – know in one of the following ways:

1.  Send me a link to a blog profile.  Several people have already been featured in a blog, or have their own profile on their own blog.  I will have a section just for those links.

2.  If you don’t have a blog link readily available, I will also accept short (200 words or less) profiles to be pasted directly into the Carnival.  Hopefully, those profiles will contain links to other online resources, such as LinkedIn.

You can send links to other blog posts via the comment section or email.  Please send your short profile by email to ginsberg dot joan at gmail dot com.

Carnival of HR – Special Employment Edition is set to go live on MARCH 24, 2010.  I need your links or profiles by 6:00 pm EST, MARCH 22, 2010.
