First off, some exciting news from MFTC. My blog has been added to the blog feeds (RSS) section of recruiting.com. Apparently, Jason Davis saw some potential in this bare bones, busch-league excuse of a blog.
I have to admit, this really motivates me to put together some well thought and and well written articles. Of course, they will all be from my Wall Street/IT recruiting perspective.
So, now that I'm getting some increased traffic, the legions are wondering aloud...'where did you get the name Miles from the Curb"? Well, it's a reference to a story dating back to my 17th birthday and my attempt at getting a drivers license. Long story short: I made it through the obstacle course and was told that I needed to successfully parallel park to pass the test. I closed my eyes and threw the car in reverse. When it was all said and done, my Jamaican driving instructor opened the door, looked down and said...."YOU ARE MILES FROM THE CURB MON!". I failed. To this day, my high school buddies still say that every time I park my car.
So there it is. In essence, the blog title "Miles from the Curb" has no actual relavence to recruiting or blogging at all. I just think it's a cool sounding phrase. Now leave me alone.
