About Barbara

Life….it’s Character-Building!  :)

Welcome!  My name is Barbara Ling, Internet pioneer, and I’m all about

  • Achieving my goals in life by pro-actively making them come true
  • Balancing 10+ years of a superbly successful online business life with raising my uniquely zany clan of children and appreciating my husband of 15+ years
  • Enjoying today with my family, friends and colleagues
  • Sharing what I’ve learned over the past decade about being successful in life. 

The Job Seeker’s Power Advantage site came about when a dear friend of mine lost his job…and I decided to help him showcase his talents online.

For over a decade now, I’ve taught myself the ins and outs of marketing online….and have taken every bit of knowledge I’ve gleaned about showcasing yourself online and packed it into the site you see.

With that as an admittedly short introduction, here’s me in a nutshell!  :)
