#OpenToWork Weekly

I believe in #NeverSearchAlone. Previously, I participated in a #JSC for a year after leaving IBM, rebooting Cuthrell Consulting, and joining NexusTek.

Since late last year, I’ve also been highlighting those in my network that are #OpenToWork by linking to their LinkedIn and quoting their LinkedIn About section. This week I’m simplifying as the About section updates were not getting updated (by me) in a timely fashion.

Week over week, the list grew until I had to add an Alumni 🎉 section this week for those that have transitioned from #OpenToWork to their next career adventure.

Alumni 🎉

Congrats Paul Lysko 🎉

Congrats Bob Lima, PMP 🎉

Congrats Rich Green 🎉

Congrats Sheri Gearhart 🎉

Congrats Shianna Maxwell 🎉

Congrats Richard Arnesen! 🎉

Previously, I decided on a view from Yahoo Finance. For example, this was a view of intraday in Technology which usually gets around a dozen or so interesting companies when the market is moving and a smaller handful of companies when the market is not moving as much.

🔙 Throwback Thursday for 2025-04-24

Three years goes by fast and one story caught my eye this week.

Are you verified?

By…

LinkedIn?

Just two years ago, LinkedIn opened identity verification by company emails on a global basis.

And only three years ago, LinkedIn entered the identity verification space.
