Attention unemployed NY professionals with a sense of humor: check out WeWantWork.com. A friend of mine, Kevin Lee, has been helping these folks organize. It’s the brainchild of Kevin’s friend (frankly not sure who), who was sick of working the traditional job-hunting channels after he got laid off as a dot-com marketing exec, so he organized this relatively small group (43 members to date) who are pounding the pavement with signs of protest demanding work, as well as handing out flyers for the site and resumes. Basically the site features the resumes of the members, but because there are so few of them, the exposure is much better than, say, Monster.com.
Most of the members are in the marketing, sales and IT areas. What this means in PR savvy. The web site has already gotten written up in Newsday, InformationWeek, The NY Sun, TimeOut and word is CNN is pending.
Not bad exposure for 43 resumes. An Bruner Blog, to boot. Sounds like a good deal to get in on to me.
