Well, I haven't done this before here, but if I can't use this site to at least try to help a friend out, what good is it?
My friend Marty was "downsized" over a year ago from his job as a Portfolio Analyst in the slumping Investment Industry. His time since has been spent in a frustrating effort to find renewed employment. He has done every bit of networking possible - friends, alumni associations, headhunters, phone calls - you name it. Oh, and now blog posts. It's all ended up in frustration. He's either been overqualified, underqualified, just beaten out by someone or the victim of some ridiculous Human Resources SNAFU. Fortunately, his favorable severance package and the fact he moved back home have kept his head above water, but it's time to change that.
Marty is a great guy and someone anyone would want to have on a team. He's a damn hard worker, getting his CFA and an MBA with Honors from Boston University while working full time. He currently resides in Lowell, MA, but is perfectly willing to relocate for the right offer and recently had an interview in the D.C. area. If you need to know anything more, just ask!
His resume in Word format is here. I've just clipped off his phone number, address and last name, but please email him if interested, or forward the resume on to anyone you think may be.
Thank you for your kind consideration!
Oh, I should also mention he welcomes any constructive criticism on his resume format.
Update: Marty has found employment! Thank you for your interest.

1) You must have Javascript enabled in your browser in order to comment (blame the spammers). If you don't know what that is, you're probably fine.
2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments. Be aware, however, that this blog and the comments section exist for my entertainment. Therefore, I reserve ALL RIGHTS here, including the right to remove any or all comments on nothing more than a whim. Please don't even bother complaining. I'm the one providing the space and the free news and thought buffet. I don't owe anyone anything.
Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
5) Enjoy your stay!
