In our modern age of completely random jobs and services, I've stumbled upon quite a few that have made me chuckle to learn about.  Take, for example, dating coaches.  A Dating Coach is defined as thus:  A dating coach is one who helps clients improve their success in dating and relationships.  Now I'm no expert in date coaching, but I have played the role of Wingman a fair share of times.  The definition of a wingman is thus:  A wingman is a role that a person may take when a friend needs support with approaching the opposite sex. A wingman is someone that is one the "inside" and is used to help someone with relationships.

All kidding aside, I think that dating coaches in our modern day and age fulfill an exciting new role never presesnt before.  In the old days (and I'm talking a few hundred years ago) persons generally lived in small towns and married others who lived in their same small town.  There wasn't this idea of dating, only courtship.  For better or worse, things have definitely changed.  The dating world is a living breathing thing – changing and evolving its own set of rules.

When I first heard that there were actual, real life dating coaches, it kind of made me chuckle.  Whenever I had asked anyone for their advice on what I should do and how I should act on a date, their response was usually just “be yourself.”  So why, I wondered, would I then feel the need to hire someone to teach me how to be myself?  But then I started thinking about it more.  In today's world, we have interview coaches, resume coaches, life coaches, etc...  Why not dating coaches?  If it's important enough to hire someone to teach you how to put your best foot forward for an interview at a job, how much more important to learn how to put your best foot forward when meeting someone who you might conceivably spend the rest of your life with?

Not only that, but dating coaches often have certain specialties to help in varying circumstances.  Dating when you're 25 and just starting your career is a vastly different circumstance than dating when your 40 with two kids after just going through a difficult divorce.  Those most often searching for dating coaches generally have circumstances beyond the average and need someone who understands the pitfalls of dating in those same situations.  Every person is unique, and come with a unique set of circumstances.  When looking for a dating coach, it's important to find someone who understands those circumstances and has worked with people in your same situation before.  Don't settle for something less.

I recently locked myself out of a home I was house sitting for. Had I been in Los Angeles, where I usually reside, a locksmith would have been as easy to find as graffiti. And so, being as how I was out in the countryside and not in Los Angeles, I tried my hand at being my own locksmith. Making my way toward the garage and making some “Custom tools,” I proceeded to pick the lock to the home and retrieve the misplaced key. I must confess, however, that locksmiths have their trade mastered, for I never even came close to budging the lock to the home and eventually was forced to give in and break a window.

Ever since the experience, I've thought extensively on what it would be like to be a locksmith in Los Angeles. As far as the mystique goes, one could not ask for a better city to work at such a trade. Not only that, but something tells me that Los Angeles has more than its fair share of homegrown locksmiths who learned their craft through less than well-established means.

Through my experience, I began to wonder, what credentials does a person need in order to become a locksmith in a city like Los Angeles? Certainly it takes more than just the ability to pick a lock. Maybe not. And do they do it the old fashioned way, picking it with the tiny metal hook and bar we've all seen from the movies? Or is there some high tech machine, an electronic skeleton key that picks most any lock, that you can simply insert into the slot and then be on your way?

Whatever the case may be, I'd love to be able to be a locksmith in LA. Something about getting a call in the early evening, showing up to a house with a handful of precision metal tools and going to work on a lock while the distressed bystanders watch in awe. It seems like the right fit for me. That's one of the reasons why I love concepts like Servana. At Servana, one can literally offer any service they're competent to provide. And who knows. Maybe one day, I'll buckle down and learn how to do the strange jobs that have always intrigued me, and finally market myself as the writer/locksmith/detective I've always wanted to be. Until then, I'll just have to keep dreaming.

This past Friday, I went under the knife for the first time in my life.

It was a routine surgery, but nonetheless, it was invasive as a knife cut into my body around 10:00am. I wasn’t awake for it, thankfully. And, that hour of my life seems to have become a vapor. No memory or recollection. No dream or deep, ponderous thoughts. One moment you are in the operating room; the next, you are in the recovery room. What happened in between these two places is a mystery. For those of you who have experienced surgery, you can surely understand.

Prior to my surgery, I had to undergo a full physical exam. My surgery was scheduled for a Friday, so my exam was on the Monday prior. On Wednesday, I received a rather alarmed call from my doctor. He was cancelling my surgery, claiming my blood work came back “severely anemic”. Even though I had explained my hereditary anemic condition – indigenous of those with Mediterranean backgrounds. My father has this condition, as do I. If you looked at my blood work up and didn’t know I had this condition, it would appear I was bleeding internally. Thus the panicked call from my doctor. Even though I was confident the low blood count and irregular numbers was attributed to my anemic condition, the doctor was more confident it could be something else. So, on the day I was scheduled to make an appearance in the operating room, I instead paid visit to a specialist and had to release my mental preparation for surgery.

I had 2 days between the call from my surgeon and the visit to the hematologist. Within that 48 hours, my wife and I were everything from concerned to confused. The former for the obvious reasons – what in the world could be wrong? And, the latter from the fact that I have never felt more healthy. I have purposed myself to eat better, exercise more and despite the physical reality of predisposed to lethargy, my mind has determined not to give in to being tired all of the time. I yawned and slept my way through my twenties, but my thirties have been spent more energized, more stimulated. My anemia hasn’t dissipated or “gone away”. Instead, the worries have been replaced by a simple love of life; one that I hadn’t experienced in the decade where I thought I knew anything – that know-it-all wasteland of our twenties where anxiety was the only way of life.

One never knows the disposition of people, particularly doctors. So, I sit down with this new doctor. He looks at me directly. “This is pretty straightforward”. My heart sank a bit. He continued…”you’re in perfect health”. I asked him to say it again. Long story short, the blood work proved that I did have the anemic condition I’ve had since birth, and despite it, I was in great health.

I was feeling, physically, amazing. There was nothing within me that gave a hint to illness, despite the alarming report I was preparing myself to confront that day, with that doctor. I realized even though I’m getting older and things “break down”, I was very inspired for some reason. And, that inspiration was generating something within me that I can only describe as energy. I think I have reached the stage of my life that has me trying to figure things out less and open myself up more to the idea of inspired living.

I realized, walking out of this doctors appointment that gave the wonderful report of great news, that my life was truly energized by the ability to be inspired and engaged by each day, no matter how mundane or exciting or everything in between. I understood how little I actually have and that has inspired me to realize how much I really do. Sometimes, this is just enough of what we need to be spirited enough to move past our challenges and shortcomings. This surgery and the days leading up to it has provided me a unique opportunity to appreciate, in a new light, how inspired living is the only way to live.

If you've considered signing up for a meditation course, or maybe are simply exploring how meditation can help the balance and quality of your life, Angela Dugas, one of a mere 36 teachers of Vedic meditation, has some thoughts on the five thousand year old practice.

Angela’s own, personal search for balance and significance in her life coupled with a vigorous curiosity and commitment to diverse forms of creativity led her to discovering the Veda – an ancient body of wisdom, which serves as the foundation for yoga and Ayurvedic medicine.Her 3 year study began with her own first meditation course in LA, under the teaching of Thom Knoles, a preeminent, venerable expert of Vedic philosophy.  Angela’s studies continued in India and found its completion in a residential training program in Flagstaff, Arizona.

“Meditation, specifically Vedic practice, is designed for individuals leading busy, active lives with families, relationships and jobs that demand the most of them,” Ms. Dugas explains.  “Many people are daunted by meditation, believing they have to become some kind of guru.  In fact, it’s the most simple and effortless practice that anyone can master.  It really doesn’t require a change of lifestyle or personal beliefs,” she continues.

According to the Vedic practice, the repetition of a mental mantra – a “meaningless sound” prepares the mind to settle – to experience a state of rest up to five times deeper than that of a solid night’s sleep.  Twice daily, twenty minutes per meditation, the mind spontaneously quiets, providing a restful state of peace that balances the body with the mind.

Strong research suggests a manifold of health benefits derived from Vedic meditation.  According to Ms. Dugas, over six-hundred reports from two-hundred institutions in thirty countries have validated the physiological and mental benefits yielding from consistent meditative practice, learned first, and naturally, through a reputable meditation course.

“I’ve noticed increased energy levels, a more fortified immune system and reduced anxiety, to name a few of the benefits I’ve experienced from this ancient practice,” Mrs. Dugas claims from personal experience.

“We live in stressful, uncertain times,” referencing how a fellow instructor of the Vedic practice saw the need to teach meditation in New York City immediately after September 11^th.  “Even now, during such economic turbulence, it is more imperative than ever to manage and adapt to the complex stresses of everyday life,” Mrs. Dugas continues, sipping herbal tea (but still very much a coffee lover).

But, if one has never meditated, how does one begin?  A meditation course is a great start.

“The first step is to attend one of my introductory talks, free of charge.  There, I will tell you my story, what let me to Vedic meditation, the basic tenets of the practice and then be available to answer any questions,” Ms. Dugas tells.  “Following the talk, the meditation course is conducted over four consecutive sessions, each session approximately an hour and a half.”

This particular meditation course is designed to develop a clear comprehension of the practice and to teach how to incorporate it into one’s daily life.  By the end of the course, a new meditator will be self-sufficient.

“I am always here for my students and both welcome follow-up and offer advanced instruction for those wishing to take their meditative practice to a deeper level,” Ms. Dugas says.  “It’s changed my life and even though I never thought this is what I would be doing, it’s very clear to me now that it is what I am meant to be doing,” Ms. Dugas concludes, her voice, its own soothing instrument of centeredness.

I've always had a strange longing to work as a stonemason. There's just something intriguing about working a profession that's been around and remained largely unchanged for thousands of years. Stonemasons have one of those select few jobs that have withstood the test of time. Having fashioned the ancient pyramids of Egypt or the Colosseum in Rome, stonemasons have one of those jobs that fills the mind with wonder.

It has always been an aspiration of mine to one day build my own home. Being somewhat enthralled with old-fashioned things, I've fostered the idea of hiring a stonemason to teach me how to build structures out of stone. I was surprised to find that very few buildings are built with stones as the supporting element in our modern day and age. Most stone structures don't meet with code for earthquake safety and other things, and so are only used as decorations on buildings. It's odd to walk up to a beautiful building, such as a courthouse, its marble shimmering in the early morning, and know that the outer stonework is only a thin layer covering a network of concrete and metal beams. But the modern age of skyscrapers has completely reinvented the ancient methods of stone-masonry.

Nowadays, a stonemason's work is relegated mostly to the outer landscaping of a home. Forming walls and walkways, stonemasons rarely are called to fashion actual buildings anymore. Most structures are made with cheaper materials, drywall and two by fours. The days of stone buildings are almost over. Though stonemasons often work with some of the sturdiest materials, much of what they do is mere facade, adding outer finishing stones to the inner foundation of whatever is being built. In the old days, stones were often the foundation of structures being erected. Now, in order to preserve that old fashioned feel, other materials are used for support, and stones are added on for effect. It's odd how things have changed in that way.

Brickmasons, however, still have an active role in the construction of buildings, and can often be seen inlaying intricate designs into the sides of giant structures. Brick buildings are some of the most beautiful modern structures being erected. One would have expected that brick buildings would go the same path of stone-masonry. But in fact, many bricks are still a very viable supporting element for brand new buildings. The cost difference in the materials must play a key role.

Though my newfound information on the work of stonemasons has shown me that I most likely will never get to build my old-fashioned stone home, I've developed an even larger respect for the trade, which has evolved completely in our modern era to facilitate the demands of an ever changing world.

Recently I've become a provider of gardening services. And though I've been doing it for a few months now, I was told very recently that I still can't refer to myself as a gardener. Apparently there's a clear distinction between gardening services and landscaping services -- gardeners not only maintaining outdoor areas, but being experts in plant know-how as well, able to discern what plants will do well in different environments and so forth. Landscapers, I was told, merely maintain existing areas. All that aside, learning how to offer landscaping and gardening services was one of the best things I've done this year.

If a person does it long enough, gardening will teach them just about everything they need to know to keep up with the repairs of a home. Repairing broken sprinklers, building apparatuses for ponds and waterfalls, and setting up retaining walls, one gets to try their hand at plumbing, carpentry, and masonry. Though I'm still far from being an expert about plants and their optimal habitats, I've learned many of the skills necessary for keeping up with a deteriorating home. Those I'll hold onto and refine as much as I can.

The other reason why building a collection of gardening services was so satisfying to me, was because it made me feel connected to that old-fashioned master/apprentice model of learning. Doing work for a friend of mine who owns his own gardening business, I was taught gardening firsthand by a man who'd been in the business for over thirty years. Being a younger man myself, I really enjoyed being around a person who's a master at their craft. There's just something special and rare about that style of learning in our modern day and age. You don't it much anymore. It's something I think we've lost in this country. Maybe I'm being overly nostalgic. I don't know.

On the more current, economic side, the demand for gardening services has seen a sharp decline, especially in the state of California, where I reside. During tough economic times, gardeners are seen more as a luxury than a necessity. Add to that the current water crisis in southern California, and you've got a very tricky situation for landscapers and gardeners. But the grass still grows as fast as ever, and people will hopefully soon start to miss their landscape professionals. I've seen quite a deterioration this year in the upkeep of outdoor landscapes. It seems simple enough to take care of a yard, but oddly, even maintaining a green lawn can be an arduous task. It's a shame, not only that gardening services are on the decline, but also that yards are losing their landscape lustre. Once things start to bounce back, hopefully we'll see a change.

    Babysitting jobs have always been a longstanding tradition among young people in America; a paycheck close to home to earn some extra summer money without the standard pitfalls of a part-time job.  Not long ago, teens would often plan their strategies for summer break  on how best to promote their services, getting as many good quality babysitting jobs as they could manage.  But these days, things have started to change.  Babysitting jobs are beginning to fade.
    As a youth worker, many hours of my week are spent with high school students, who, not that long ago, were the CEO's and Presidents of the babysitting industry.  But out of those I've talked to, only a handful consider it a reasonable option for a job these days, and none of them actively promote themselves.  It surprised me.  It was less than fifteen years ago when babysitting seemed to be a bustling enterprise.  My older sister was one of the many who made a consistent $400 a month from babysitting jobs, which was a huge amount for a high schooler in those days.   
    But something seems to be changing.  Though the need for babysitters seems to never have been greater, the demand for babysitters has most definitely dwindled.  I know this for a fact, being a grown man with two jobs who still is asked occasionally if I would babysit so and so's children.  The only evident, feasible explanation is the growing lack of trust and security in our neighborhoods.  At the time babysitting was in full swing, kids often spent whole days roaming freely in public parks with friends, unsupervised and yet safe all the while.  I myself can still hear the quintessential line called out from my mother as often I would sprint from my house: “Make sure you're home by dinner.” 
    That sort of thing doesn't happen much anymore.  Kids stay close to home, or only go to the park with parents.  With the dwindling of the feeling of security in our neighborhoods, it seems as though babysitting as a viable job is dwindling as well.  And that's not all, it seems.  In the “good-old-days” in America, it was common for neighbors to show up on doorsteps with muffins to welcome newcomers to the neighborhood and get to know them.  Nowadays, with lists of registered sex-offenders available online, thousands of neighborhoods nationwide are frequently put on alert when a dangerous person moves in to the area.  Neighbors are often fearful of others living in their neighborhood, and don't trust hiring someone as a babysitter unless they know them very well.
    Though such caution is warranted, it's a shame to see the impact such things have had on babysitting jobs.  Babysitting is the perfect job for high-schoolers on summer vacation, or those just wanting a little cash without having to look for part-time work.  But it seems like the trend is moving more and more away from the old-fashioned babysitting model toward something new.

It's no secret that the economy is tough right now. It's heavily affected all of us, destroying jobs, foreclosing houses, and bringing wave after wave of general discomfort. (The state of California, the 7^th largest economy in the world!, is actually giving out IOUs this year for tax returns, haha. sigh) That being said, what I want to know is, through all this, are we as Americans going to learn our lesson? What lesson is that, you ask? Why do Americans always live so far above their means? We analyze how much we make and squeeze every last penny from our salaries, or even perhaps more, going into debt.

I'm not trying to slam people who have legitimate bills. There are millions who have no choice about this. They have families to feed and clothe. But there are plenty more of us with no excuse and we know who we are. For all the rest, I give you this quote by Henry David Thoreau:

“Most men appear never to have considered what a house is, and are actually though needlessly poor all their lives because they think that they must have such a one as their neighbors have... It is possible to invent a house still more convenient and luxurious than we have, which yet all would admit that man could not afford to pay for. Shall we always study to obtain more of these things, and not sometimes to be content with less?”

The reason I feel comfortable preaching such a financial gospel is because, out of everyone I know, the present state of the economy has affected me the most. I work for a non-profit organization and in the last four months have been paid a total of a whopping $675. And yet, I've muddled through. The reason why is because I've always tried my hardest to spend far less than what I earn. “For my greatest skill has been to want but little.” Another quote from Henry David Thoreau.

To me, it's always been more important to do work that's meaningful than work that's high paying. But often times, in order to be employed in meaningful tasks, one has to be content with little pay. Most of us, however, take the opposite approach. We associate pay with value, and think that when we have that high salary career, we'll finally have found everything we're after. But this is a fatal misconception. For who among us can control those unforeseen storms, like the current financial crisis? (Ok Ron Paul probably saw it coming, but who else?)

I guess what I'm trying to say is that contentment is a skill, one which most of us have not yet learned. I hope that through times like these, we'll learn. What do you think?

I always thought that college was supposed to prepare a person to join the workforce. When did college become a place that prepares a person for getting experience? Who in their right minds wants to spend 4 years of their life learning and many thousands of dollars just so they can be told, “Sorry, you need more experience.” Somewhere along the line, the mentality of the academic world has become consistent with one of my favorite quotes: “Always remember that you're unique... just like everybody else.”

Because of this, however, something surprising has happened. A shift is slowly building in today's economy. The trade jobs of yesteryear are actually gaining more of a rise in the modern workforce. One would think that with technology abounding more and more, jobs like carpentry and plumbing would lose their appeal. But in fact we find the opposite. Trade schools in our modern age are becoming like a fresh breath of air in an otherwise stagnant, musty atmosphere. Just imagine it with me for a moment. Going to school for a mere two years and stepping straight into the workforce. Wait, no unpaid internships? No experience oriented programs that resonate vaguely with the words: “indentured servitude?”

The trade jobs of yesteryear (Welding, Auto Mechanics, Plumbing, Electricians) have gotten somewhat of a bad rap in times past. With the advent of computers and the internet in our modern age, trade jobs seem to almost have an air of stupidity associated with them, like a backward step on the evolutionary chain of society. In other words, in our modern society, there's a clear attitude that trade jobs should never be a person's first choice. But now, surprisingly, things are starting to change. Trade schools actually offer viable training for the working world, not training towards eventual indentured servitude. I, personally, think it's about time.

It's always been one of my dreams to build my own house somewhere out in the recesses of the San Diego countryside. Beyond actually having a house, one of the most exciting things about that goal is the opportunity to learn many of the trades. To try my hand at plumbing, electrical work, foundation pouring, and carpentry will be more than a little challenging, but also very rewarding. And though I will only gain a cursory knowledge of the trades required in construction and will most likely hire professionals to work with me, the idea of one day learning those time tested trades is a welcomed thought.

John Ratzenberger (played Cliff Clavin in the TV show Cheers) is a big advocate of encouraging children to learn about and be proud of the fabrication and manufacturing professions. Among other accomplishments he founded “Nuts, Bolts, and Thingamajigs” the Foundation of the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International. This foundation educates and encourages children and to explore the professions in the fabricating and manufacturing fields. Here is a link to his site. http://www.fma-foundation.org/nbtf/

It may be that the pendulum is about to swing back in the favor of trade jobs. With so much of our industry now in foreign hands, and with the constant problems we have with Chinese-made goods, good old-fashioned American manufacturing might gain a little momentum and respect. The trades might actually become the first choice in the minds of the youth of tomorrow. Wouldn't that be an interesting thing? It might, in fact, be the only hope for getting back the industrial roots this country was founded upon. One day, we might actually be able to give our children toys again that aren't coated in lead paint. I look forward to it.

Let's face it, we're in a recession and times are tough. Everyone could use a little extra cash. What most people never consider are those time tested, good old fashioned, rustic jobs. I spent a couple of winters in the northwoods of Minnesota, and seeing as how employment options in that part of the world are about as desirable as lockjaw, I began to explore the more traditional methods of making money. One which proved very lucrative was wood splitting. I'll admit that I got a little lucky on the timing, cutting firewood during the peak of the friendly price gouging of our OPEC neighbors, but still, there was money to be made, and I made it.

But then I came back to the deserts of California and lost all hope of making money the old fashioned way that I had gotten used to. Or so I thought. Many people think that in order to make a little extra cash they have to go out and get a part time job at a Starbucks. But this simply is not true. There are a wealth of unusual, quirky jobs that makes one scratch his head in wonderment to consider if such a thing is still done. At the top of the list, my favorite:

Gold Panning

That's right, you heard me. I'm talking good old fashioned, time to head down to the family stream with uncle Cletus type gold panning. Believe me, when I first considered the notion of gold prospecting to make a little extra cash, I thought it was the most ridiculous notion since the invention of the pet rock. But then I started doing some research and I realized very quickly that the society of gold prospecting is alive and well in the American public. This quote was taken directly from an article in ICMJ's Prospecting and Mining Journal, at the end of a gold panning tutorial: “In conclusion, don't let anyone tell you that this country's rivers and streams no longer contain gold. Every year winter storms bring more to the surface, continually renewing nature's supply. It's all there for the taking, and the gold pan is still the best way to find it!”

I've since done a lot of research into the potential of gold prospecting for a little extra cash, and have actually been surprised by the results. Apparently gold panning is legal on virtually all land controlled by the Federal Bureau of Land Management, which is quite a lot of land. I live smack dab in a big city, San Diego, and still am only half an hour's drive from an old gold mining town on the edge of BLM land. From the research I've done, the experienced panner in a good location can hope to make over $100 a day worth of gold, which probably has increased all the more with the large increases in the price of gold.

Still not convinced? I don't blame you. Telling your date that you pan gold on the side for a little extra is not always the best way to impress. But then again, when offered in a casual, confident, entrepreneurial fashion, that could be the thing that sets you apart from the rest whose lack of vision has wound them up down the street at their local McDonalds 25 hours a week.

Getting Creative

What you're looking at, friends, is a Star Wars Stormtrooper mounted as a stick shift knob. Dismantling a bobble head doll and spending a quite a few hours in the shop, I managed to mount it to my Honda Accord, transforming an otherwise dull, commonplace vehicle into the pride and joy of my creative mind. And now that I've gained the skill of stick shift knob modification, which I do say is probably quite unique, I'm devising strategies for widespread production, or at least to all my friends. And though the idea may or may not make me the extra cash I need, the mentality behind it is sound.

During the economic crisis, though many of us have been drastically effected, some people have still continued to thrive. Chances are, these friends of yours who have a little more disposable income than most, they have things they wish would get done but haven't had the time or money to have it done the right way. But you, having that rare initiative and hard working spirit, might be able to create a mutually beneficial arrangement. This is how I envision the conversation going. “Hey Mike, remember how you always said that you wished you had the time to tear out that old tile and put in wood flooring? It turns out I'm looking for a little extra work right now. Why don't you hire me to do it for you?”

With the advent of the internet, and the overwhelmingly vast wealth of tutorials and how-to guides available, take some time to ask your well-off friends if there's any work they could use done around their house or business. Though it might mean going online for a few hours to learn how to rip up tile and replace it with wood flooring, it can still be done, and you can do it cheaper than the tile company's $20 an hour employee. Plus, since you're doing it for a friend who's helping you out by hiring you, you'll obviously do a very good job, right? That's the sale's pitch anyway. I guarantee you won't be turned down. This is good old-fashioned, friend-helping-friend business. And though it won't make you rich, it should still help get you the extra few hundred bucks you need.

Sell Your Junk!

Let's face it, people still love garage sales, and you still don't need that Total Gym you've never used (Well maybe you still need it but you're still not going to use it). And with the advent of Ebay and Craigslist, you have no excuse. Just get it done.

Join Online Communities that Benefit You

There are numerous ways to make money online; one is through the networking of like-minded, local individuals. In the past, people have had to do their own networking, infiltrating places like Myspace and Facebook to find those individuals you might be able to form a mutually beneficial relationship with. This process is time consuming, or was in the past. Servana is an online community that does automatically what ordinarily was a long and laborious process. At Servana, persons are already networked locally-based on the services they offer. So not only do you get to blog and interact with like-minded individuals who are just fun to know, you can even hire one another's services, especially for jobs that ordinarily have no forum. My case is the perfect example. With my newfound stick shift modification skills, I can offer my service to anyone in San Diego, giving my friends a welcome relief from my constant prodding.

There are other websites, such as Craigslist, which provide similar possibilities, but Servana was designed specifically with the idea of linking like-minded, local individuals together to interact through seeking and selling a vast array of services. Though we are obviously biased toward Servana, us being the creators and all, we encourage you to use all the forums available that can help you network and find jobs.
