What is the old saying… something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. That’s exactly what we are aiming for this week on The JOB Radio Show.

Something old: How about a replay of an interview with world famous cartoonist Stephan Pastis - Creator of the Pearls Before Swine cartoon.

Something new: Employment lawyer Dennis Strazulo with a new topic - dinner breaks. A new law is on the books, what does that mean to you?

Something borrowed:  How about borrowing The Coaches Training Institute’s Career Coach - Jennifer Lee. J Lee will break down the differences between men and women in the job search.

Something blue: How about an interview with Author Samuel A Culbert about his book Beyond Bull Sh*t - Straight Talk at Work.

See how that all came together!

After months of hype and hysteria it is finally Shark Week on The JOB Radio show.

Did you know something like 24.7 million people watch Shark Week on the Discovery Channel - if just .00008 perecnt of those people tune into The JOB, we’ll have 17 more listeners than normal!

If you think that this whole shark theme is just a silly radio stunt….. you are flat wrong. How could loan sharks, people who swim with sharks and authors who write about sharks at work - be just stunts.

All that plus our regulars, Jennifer Lee of CTI, Dennis Strazula and Andrew Gardiner mix in their shark stories…

Don’t be scared - “the Landshark is considered the cleverest of all sharks. Unlike the great white shark, which tends to inhabit the waters and harbors and recreational beach areas, the Land Shark may strike at any place, anytime. It is capable of disguising its voice, and generally preys on young, single women.”
