It’s been a long time since I reached out. Not from lack of interest in maintaining contact, but rather because I’m been focused on re-potting, re-tooling, re-energizing and just making it through the economy! Yes, the Job Finding Expert had to do her own work-search.
Much has changed, and much is still the same.
I’m still doing executive search and IT consulting, and have added project management sales to the mix with the new company I joined.
So my interests have broadened. From my work with career and employment related issues, I’ve been immersed in exploring the most conscious, leading edge companies in the country. I’m determined to find out what it takes to work in them and share it with you. I want us to learn what these companies are doing in their cultures that made them, and KEEPS them, “Leading Edge”.
So what does it take to work for the best companies in the country? What kinds of skills do you need? What does it take to get hired and what does it take to succeed?
I’m proud to say that one of the things I’ve been doing is working on a new Reality Show Pilot, entitled, “So What’s It Take To Work There?”, to find answers to that question.
If you have a few moments, check out the sizzle reel. Our first subject was Zappos, the great internet shoe retailer based in Henderson, NV. We spent the day there doing interviews on what it takes to get a job and work for one of the best companies in the country. It’s been very well received and I’m proud of our accomplishment. It’s lots of fun and I’m SO HAPPY to share it with you. Wait till you see the Zappos work environment.
SO, WHAT’S IT TAKE TO WORK THERE?

Tell me what you’ve been doing. Or send me your resume… I’m always happy to keep my eyes open for you.
It’s good to back. Remember, do the basics, keep the faith, network, and keep moving forward.
Yours truly,
Dianne Gubin
