Started My Job Today

Singers sing, dancers dance, politicians politick, doctors fix patients, and me?

I help people get $100k+ jobs.

And I love it, love it, love it.

Love it so much I've assembled 194 of the best people you'd ever meet to work together here in southern Manhattan and focus on how to fix your biggest problem at the moment:

"How the heck am I going to find my next $100k+ job?"

So when we receive e-mails like this one from subscriber Chris, we are psyched!

"Today, I began my first official day with Northrop Grumman. I have been a contractor there for three months, and I am very pleased to join them permanently.   I found the job through TheLadders.com on 6-19-2007. That was just three days after I joined. Because money was really tight, I had a membership for only one short month.

Thanks Chris! And Paul from Connecticut writes in quickly to say:

I tip my hat to you and TechnologyLadder for the fine job you do. I just received an offer from a company I found through a search on TheLadders.com, and I start there on Tuesday. Kudos to you and your team! Much appreciated. Needless to say, I will be highly recommending TheLadders.com to anyone who is looking for a career change.

Good news, Paul! And here's Anne from Arnold:

Mr. Cenedella,
I was just offered a job through your site. I am so delighted about the new position and tremendously grateful to your site and service. (I had my resume redone and read all of your tips. I know it helped and brought interest my way!)

Anne Martien
Arnold, MD

You know, I feel pretty lucky to have ended up in this line of work.

I used to be SVP, Finance & Operations at HotJobs.com, and was the corporate development guy on our $436 mm sale to Yahoo! After the merger, it turned out that big company life wasn't for me (sound familiar?), so I left and started TheLadders.com in 2003.

Now, look, the site's not perfect yet. And I can tell you we collect all your thoughts and criticisms and suggestions and discuss them at length amongst ourselves. OK, after we've answered your email (88% within 3 hours, 99% within a business day) we discuss them amongst ourselves, and use your comments to make TheLadders.com better and more effective.

And along with my 194 colleagues here at TheLadders, we are proud that we've built the best online resource for you to find your next job. That's why people like Andy Kaslow, Chief HR Officer at AIG; and Brian Swette, Chairman at Burger King and former COO at eBay have joined our Board of Directors. And that's why leading edge companies like EMC , Wachovia, JP Morgan, Cisco and 34,000 others post their jobs on TheLadders.com.

Hey, it's practically a movement now!

So even if we're not as good as we're going to be five years from now - heck, even if we're not as good as we would've liked to be yesterday (we're an ambitious lot here at TheLadders.com) - we have still created the best website, by far, for finding your next $100k+ job.

So I hope you'll join Anne and Paul and Chris in the ranks of the happy job-starters soon! Let me know how I can help!
