      <title>Mike, What's a typical day like at JackBe?</title>
      <link>http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/42822?answer_class=AnswerBase</link>
      <description>One of the things I like is that there isn't such a thing.  You always have to be prepared to put out fires on the fly, or readjust because something happened in the MRKT that day.</description>

      <title>Mike, What are the most challenging aspects of your job?</title>
      <link>http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/146130?answer_class=AnswerBase</link>
      <description>Balancing the rest of life with work.  The thing I like about the industry and the start-up stage is that there is always something that needs to be done.  The day doesn't end when you leave the office.  I, and others, are consistently in touch and working all the time.  We live our jobs, but you have to make sure to balance it however necessary so as to not burn out.</description>

      <title>Mike, What are the most rewarding aspects of your job?</title>
      <link>http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/146128?answer_class=AnswerBase</link>
      <description>The people I work for and the market space we are in.  The knowledge i've gained from working side-by-side with the entire, very experienced and innovative management team; there is no hierarchy except on paper.  Once again an advantage of a small company.</description>

      <title>Mike, What advice do you have for someone who wants a job like yours?</title>
      <link>http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/146121?answer_class=AnswerBase</link>
      <description>Be persistant and don't follow traditional career paths.  I didn't get in the door to JackBe by a recruiter nor did JackBe have any job postings.  I read a press release about them, investigated the market space and as much about the company as I could and went directly to the CEO, which I only suggest with small and start-up companies.</description>

      <description>Lately its the whole Web 2.0 craze.  I just attended the New New Internet Conf. here is the DC area.  I'm not going into it here; you can read my blogs on JackBe's site, but I love the excitement around everything and it really motivate me to see so many others (at the show) excited about it too.</description>

      <title>Mike, What path did you take to your current career?</title>
      <link>http://www.jobster.com/at/answer/view/146120?answer_class=AnswerBase</link>
      <description>The good thing about a start-up is that the sooner you start, the more options you have.  I come from a sales and Business Development background.  Because we have very experienced sales reps here I gravitated more towards the MRKT and specifically the product management/marketing for new innovative products.</description>
