"Great post, Lance. Found your blog via Mike Q Todd, fwiw" - Ivan Walsh

"Thanks Content Bazaar :)" - Ivan Walsh

"Sometimes I think it’s down to chemistry.  If the person interviewing you is ‘on your side’ and sees where you add value, then you may get in.  Otherwise, it’s very hard to persuade others to change their perception.  Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi James,     We’re in Ireland so sadly don’t get their publications.   I tried to setup a branch here a few years ago but the response wasn’t very helpful…" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Tim,   Mining seems to be the first thing to pick up from a downturn.   I didn’t know that. And it makes sense when you think about it.   Glad things are working out for you. Heard Oz is a great place to be :)" - Ivan Walsh

"Thanks, I've read the same thing elsewhere.   Makes me wonder why older writers are getting excluded. At least, that’s the perception.   Wonder it is to do with cultural issues?" - Ivan Walsh

"Yes, that's the Catch 22, isn't it? I try to get the conversation to... “so, what’s your current baseline and where do you want to go?” If they don’t respond to that, it’s time to move on." - Ivan Walsh

"Thanks Astro, There was a monster list on, I think, Kikolani.com of Do Follow blogs. If I find the bookmark, I'll share it as it really does work, doesn’t it. Fwiw, I also use google reader to keep on top of things and find new blogs that way. There’s a nice PR Chrome plugin that shows the PR of each post. Nice way of seeing what’s working and ideas for blog post titles :) Thanks for dropping by. Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Frederique, Something to consider is that our mindset may change... and that's not necessarily a good or a bad thing, just something to observe." - Ivan Walsh

"Hi Dave,  I know it sounds strange but... sometimes the client knows they need to change SOMETHING but are not sure where. Or how.  To help them get there, you sometimes have to work backwards, ie how did they get into this postion in the first place and THEN help them navigate a path.  Hope that makes sense.  Great site you have here, btw.  Ivan" - Ivan Walsh

"Thanks Jailani ~ like the design of your site, btw. Cover photo works very well." - Ivan Walsh

"I think the days of going alone on the web are over. You have to reach out and connect offline and online... well, maybe you dont have to but, it does seem to work better. Someone once said, if you have a large network, you're never out of a job. Good way of looking at it ;)" - Ivan Walsh

"Sorry to hear that Candice.  I've heard very similar stories from others who've had good phone interviews but then when they met the client, the whole thing went dead. Very frustrating to deal with.  Also, there's the time and cost of going to these interviews... and getting your hopes up.  Hope things turn for the better in the new year." - Ivan Walsh
