Hello all!

As the newest member in this blogging community, I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself to all of you job seekers out there, as well as give you an idea of what you might be reading in the upcoming days/weeks/months.

As any good introduction starts with, my name is Chris Hollis. I am a 23 year old Publicity Agent in (mostly) sunny Orlando, Florida. I work for a great company, one that has offered me a world of opportunity.

Now I know some of you are asking, "Why should I care about this Chris Hollis guy who already has a job and isn't dealing with the stress of graduating and finding a place in the workforce?"

Fair question. However, my goal here is not to tell you how wonderful my life is because I have found a job that I enjoy and don't mind waking up for every morning. I'm here to be a supportive force for those who are trying to do the same: land that first job.

I hope to offer some insight, some anecdotes and some degree of understanding to each of you that decide to read what I have put on the screen in front of you. I graduated from school 12 not-so-distant months ago, and the memories and lessons of the job hunt are still fresh in my mind.

So feel free to read this and agree/disagree/or just not care. For those that are interested in what I am putting out there, I'd love to hear from you. I would love to listen to the ups and downs of your job hunt. I would love to support you when an interview goes badly and congratulate you when you knock em' dead. And I would enjoy to no end to hear the satisfaction in your voice when that day comes and you find yourself in that first job you have worked so hard to get.

That's it for now. I'll leave all of you job seekers with a great quote from Oliver Wendall Holmes:

"The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we stand,
as in what direction we are moving."
