OK, last week I sounded off on the need for Fan/Geek/Otaku job seach support groups. So I wrote up a guide – and here's part 1!

Go Farther: Geek Job Search Groups
I want to make a proposal to you, my fellow progeeks and hopeful progeeks who are looking for work.
I've known and been coaching many people who are doing job searches. They are inevitably doing it on their own, often feeling alone, or tired. Few have job search support for various reasons, from not thinking about it to having trouble finding people who understand their interests.
I think it's time for you to form fandom/geekdom/otakudom-oriented job search groups and help each other out.
