The 405 Club

There’s no Photoshop work done here folks - not even Gimp, MS Picture Manager or Photoscape.  In case you missed it, The 405 Club was featured in The NY Post yesterday [link].

The article is appropriately titled “When the going gets tough, the unemployed BLOG.” Ironically Sheila McClear, the writer of the article, is also unemployed and looking for full-time employment.  Welcome to the club Sheila!

We’re very happy to be featured in the NY Post and we welcome all of our new readers who have been in The 405 Club without even knowing they were in it!Be sure to officially join the club via our 405 Club Ning Network [join here].

Congratulations as well to all of the others included in the article, such as our friends over at Recessionwire [link], Jobless and Less [link] and Pink Slips Are The New Black [link].

-By Garrett Dale, Founding Member, Music Industry Professional, Online Marketing Expert and actively seeking employment opportunities.
