I am a 34 year old father of 2 lovely boys, I am married to Janice my “Wifey”. I am and have been for a while, an Estimator for an interior fit-out company!
I write a blog, which you can read from the ‘Here’s the BLOG!‘ page and the list of posts I have written.
I have a classic 1982 628CSi BMW.
I was unemployed, back in February 2010, and I SUCCESSFULLY used the power of social media and my network of online friends to find employment.
My blog has been read world wide, people have commented on my plight, and sent me messages of good will and encouragement. I continue to receive messages still from people that stumble upon my story…. I have also been fortunate enough to be interviewed live on BBC Radio Essex on the Dave Monk show, explaining how I was using social media to find a job!
From that, several more radio interviews, and also co-hosting a Live Outside Broadcast with Dave Monk, discussing unemployment, and what to do should you find yourself in that unfortunate position.
My story has also appeared in the Mirror and the Sun national tabloids.
I have since been asked to speak in public at Social Media events to tell my story, and still amaze people today, when I tell them what happened to me in a crazy couple of months that changed my life.
I have met lots and lots of wonderful people through Social Networking, people who’s paths I would never had crossed had I not signed up for a Twitter account, many of those people are now close, personal friends.
I hope enjoy reading my blog, and following my story as my life and career unfolds!
You will notice, there’s never a dull moment, and always a story to tell.
Paul.
