Is this your niche?

There’s so much going on online these days that it can be hard to keep up with things we want to know, things we need to know and things that are just downright fun to know. I don’t allow myself to spend all day everyday online, but even if I did I’d still be behind. That’s my excuse for being late with this little tidbit and I’m sticking to it! There’s a reason I’m telling you this even though I’m late, though, so pay attention!

You know about the Webby Awards, right? For the uninformed, the Webby Awards are the “Oscars of the Internet,” according to the New York Times. They’ve been honoring the best and the brightest web content for twelve years and will be holding their annual gala in New York City next week on June 10th, where they’ll announce this year’s winners. Sad to say, I haven’t been notified that it’s imperative that I be there, so I’m guessing I was passed over this year. With almost 10,000 entires you’d think that my blog would have been submitted for at least one category. Not that I’ve have expected to win, mind you, but a nomination would have been nice. I’d love to be seated at the same table with Todd Davis during the ceremony. You know him, right? He’s the lifelock CEO who put his social Security Number on the side of a truck, online and on TV to prove how well Lifelock can protect you in the event of identity theft. Yeah, that guy. Their website is a nominee for the Webby Award for Best Service of 2008. He’s proud of the recognition, and well he should be. So many websites are all about service that the nomination represents a solid endorsement of the level of customer care available to Lifelock’s online customers.

So, why am I telling you this even though nominations are closed and it’s too late for you to vote? Because I happen to know that some of my readers work in web-related services and that at least one of you has a background in security. Is it possible that you might be looking to make an upward move? Lifelock is hiring! This could be the golden opportunity that you’ve been waiting for. They have openings in several areas of expertise:

Marketing & Sales
Finance & Accounting
PR & Community Relations
Security & Compliance
Product & Strategy
Member Services
Human Resources
Information Technology

If you’re well-qualified in one of those areas, this is something you really need to check out. You’ll find more information about each position and an online application on their website so you can get started. Tell them skeet sent you. You know - the one who won’t be sitting next to Todd Davis at the Webby Awards waiting to be named “Best Website About Stuff.”

   I suspect my invitation is jammed up in the mail along with yours.

   There’s always next year!
