What Is the Strangest Job You’ve Ever Had?
March 11, 2008 · Print This Article
What is the strangest job you’ve ever had? And what did you learn from it?
Today, at HighCallingBlogs.com we’re announcing our first Group Writing Project Meme:
The guidelines for our first group writing project are simple:
1. Write a post about some strange job you’ve had and what you learned from it.
2. Link to other “Lessons from Odd Jobs” posts around the highcallingblogs.com network, or quote them in your post with proper attribution. This isn’t a requirement, but it’s a fun way to get people moving around the network and reading each other.
3. Tag your post “lessons from odd jobs”—if you use technorati tags or another form of meta-tags.
4. Tag other bloggers by linking to them in your post and inviting them to participate in the meme. Tag as many people as you like—we’re not limiting this just to people in the network!
5. Link back to us to our Lessons from Odd Jobs page in your post and email this month’s host at “Marcus AT highcallingblogs DOT com”. Our current plan is to host future memes on various blogs throughout the network as people volunteer. Linking back and emailing Marcus isn’t a requirement, it just helps us keep track of what’s going on.
If you’ve been tagged, write about your own “Lessons from Odd Jobs” and repeat the process.
We’re going to start this project in the last week of March, beginning on Monday, March 24. There’s no official deadline, but we’re hoping to have a good list of posts to send out to everyone in our April newsletter.
This is a great idea for a group writing project! I had a great time putting my post together. I got to take a nice ride down Memory Lane! You can find my post at…
