 Business Analyst – Daniel Johnson, Jr. | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 40:21

As some of you might know, I recently got a new job after being unemployed for about 9 months.  During my unemployment, I spent a lot of time meeting other people and being involved in a number of job search groups in the Greater Cincinnati area. One of them was the $timulus Job Networking Group, which meets Tuesday evenings at 7 PM at the Barnes & Noble in West Chester, Ohio. I consider Monte Washburn and others in the group not only as great colleagues, but also as friends.  When I landed my new job, Monte asked if the group could interview me so that I could tell my story for this program. So, in this special interview (mp3, 40:21, 37 MB) I share how I recently landed my job as a Business Analyst for a company that provides software solutions in the Greater Cincinnati area.
