The Brazen Careerist columnist Penelope Trunk — who writes for both the Boston Globe and Yahoo! — was kind enough to mention the book and to provide a link to the ARSE test in her recent column on "Finding Work that You Love." Aaron Mentele at Electric Pulp reports that Penelope’s Yahoo! column is driving a lot of the recent traffic to the ARSE test, which he reports is up to 36,459 unique views and 22,343 completions. So the self-examination continues!
P.S. Penelope has a book coming out in May also called Brazen Careerist. I just read the advanced copy last week and it is a delightful book, with some edgy advice that made me squirm a bit at times. I agreed with 90% of it, found myself arguing with the other 10%, and was completely engaged from start to finish. I will write a longer review as publication gets closer.
P.P.S. Penelope — and I suspect the Maxium Radio Show with Bower where they encouraged me to say "asshole" over and over again, talked a lot about the test — are having an effect. Aaron tells me we are up to 31,430 total completions and 51,350 total unique visits — this almost 10,000 more in less than 24 hours!
