I love your blog, and I want to introduce you to Inside Jobs (www.insidejobs.com), a new career exploration website that I think you will be impressed with. We’d be a great resource for your readers and would love to be featured on your blog—our goal is to be far more extensive than any other career resource, and we have a good start down that path.

I’ve included a brief summary of our site below. I’d love to send you more information about the site and chat about a blog feature, interview etc. if you’re interested. Please let me know.

Look forward to hearing from you,

In a brief overview of our Inside Jobs, we’ve written thousands of job descriptions to help people figure out what they want to do in their career. We’ve broken down jargon so the descriptions are fun to read and include salary ranges, work environment information, and a “how to become” section that talks about education and training needed to enter a job.

We’re also adding interactive media components to our descriptions, so you can watch informational interviews, and hear from people in the field about what really think about their position. Finally, we have tracked resumes and job posting to figure out which jobs most commonly precede and follow a given position, so that users can examine common career trajectories in a field.
