Please Support Career Opportunities!

As you may have noticed, the advertisements that have been on the web site and in the podcast are now gone. With such a short podcast, advertisements running 30 seconds or more are hard to justify. I will be adding promos for other podcasts to the end of the show, but these should be easy to skip if you aren't interested and I am only doing this to promote shows I find useful or fun.

The past 3 months have brought in enough revenue to support the podcast for a limited time, so I would like to ask all of the readers and listeners to support Career Opportunities in any way possible. Due to increased listenership, it looks as if I will need to create a LibSyn.com account to meet the download demand. Beyond my basic web hosting costs, this will be the first additional investment I have made in the podcast. I have been very lucky to have audio equipment donated by my friend, MIchael, but I am going to be starting a Career-Op interview series, so I am looking to pick up some portable equipment for that endeavor.

That said, any support for the podcast and the column is GREATLY appreciated. This support need not always take the form of cold, hard cash, either.

Ways to support Career Opportunities:

  • Read/Listen

    The very fact that you are reading and listening to Career Opportunities lets me know that I am doing some thing worthwhile. Everything I do is directed towards serving your needs for great high-tech career information. Subscription numbers are one of the few ways I have of gauging reaction to individual shows and the podcast/column as a whole. If you currently listen via the web site, please consider subscribing to the RSS feed. Please recommend Career Opportunities to others and, if you know any publication, radio station or syndicator who might be interest in syndicating the column/podcast, please have them contact me directly at career@welchwrite.com.

  • Feedback, comments and questions

    The next, and probably most important, way you can contribute is to send in your feedback, questions, comments, brickbats, "Are you out of your mind?" emails, etc. I want to know more about you and learn what career issues you are facing today. You can leave your thoughts here as comments on the web site, via the Friends In Tech Forums, or directly via email.

  • Amazon Store

    If you purchase books or other items from Amazon, please consider using the WelchWrite store to make your purchase. In most cases, this garners about 5% or less of the purchase. This money is returned directly to supporting the web site and the podast. You can find an Amazon Search Box on the main page of the web site at http://welchwrite.com/.

  • Advertisers

    Please consider investigating any of the advertisers that you find on the web site. These "pennies" do add up and also go directly towards web hosting, etc.

  • PayPal/Direct Contributions

    I have placed one of those ubiquitous PayPal buttons on this post and you may see it now and again on the web site. If you are in a position to support the column/podcast, please use this method to send in your support. You can also send checks directly to The WelchWrite Company, Inc. if that meets you needs. Contact me via email for address information.



Thanks for past support and any that you can offer in the future. As Career Opportunities continues its 9th year as a print column and 2nd year as a podcast, I want to let you all know that it has been a great pleasure to produce these columns and podcasts. It is one of the most fulfilling parts of my day.

Be well!
