The idea for getting my resume in front of a million people came about when I realized how simple it would be to harness the power of my own personal network, which includes hundreds of people in a variety of industries across the country, and have those contacts help me network even further during my job search. By keeping the "resume chain" going and turning a few hundred contacts into a million, my resume will eventually end up on the screen of someone who wants nothing more than to add me to their team. It's like the old shampoo commercial "and she told two friends and they told two friends and they told two friends..."

I have 13 years of excellent experience that can be leveraged in advertising, marketing, public relations or sales (I could sell RAID to ants). I love the advertising agency business and have worked hard in agencies in the midwest and out east since I was 21 years old. I'd love to stay in advertising or marketing on the agency or client side, but I am well aware of the volatility of the ad industry so I am ready to explore opportunities in new industries.

Some very amazing friends of mine in the advertising and marketing world have helped me develop HireTina. Sure, they believe in me and want to help me reach my goal, but they also realize how important it is to market yourself as a brand when you're job hunting. This is more than a job hunt. It's about proving that being aggressive, proactive and full of energy during even the most uncertain times will ensure success. Clearly, no one is out there waiting to hand over a job. I will use every tool, contact and resource at my disposal to work hard at this job search every day and achieve my goal.

Thank you for being a part of it and helping me.

Tina
