Getting Back to Work
By Matt McGee on Jul 1, 2008 | comments (16)
After two months of job interviews, freelance consulting opportunities, a family vacation, and a couple search conferences/events, it feels great to be working again. 
This is just a quick post to say that I’ve accepted a position as Director of Strategic Search with KeyRelevance. I’ve known Christine Churchill, Bill Slawski, and Li Evans for years and consider them friends. Now, I get to work with them and the rest of the terrific KeyRelevance team! Very, very cool.
Looks like there’s even a news release about it.
Forgive me for posting and running, but I have about a gazillion social media profiles to go update….

Matt, that is terrific news; I am so happy for you! Christine and Bill are top-notch people and top-notch SEOs. (I don’t know Li, otherwise I’d probably say the same).

Congratulations, Matt. Christine is building quite an arsenal over there now. Three industry experts as well as herself. So glad you didn’t go to work for Yahoo

Way to get a job, Matt! No more hobo stew for you! (Probably a good thing since your wife’s been complaining about how all of her boots have gone missing.)

Wow, such kind replies — thanks everyone. Marcel — no worries, the blog will continue on full steam ahead. In fact, now that I’ll be doing more client work than in-house work, the blog should get better based on new experiences, ideas, etc.
Rebecca, it was Top Ramen all the way at Casa McGee!

Congrats M2! Good to hear you’re back up and on your feet in style. Hope this doesn’t mean I lose a partner in crime come conference time though!
