Let's try something new

I have been reading so many things about how technology has helped people land their dream job. I have also read and watched things about people renting billboards and walking around with signs and t-shirts with resume stuck on them. I'm not to that point yet. I feel like it somedays. However, I am feeling the need to get myself out there. So, I am going to link this post to my twitter and put my resume and try some new keywords to get it out there. Hopefully someone will let me show them my "passion," "dedication" and "desire" to help and serve whoever they serve on a daily basis, even if I don't have that one or two years of experience that they advertise.
