I'm listening to a Podcast out of Detroit from last week (Dave and Chuck the Freak, 89X) and they are doing a story about a woman from Sylvania whose husband put her picture and e-mail address on a billboard somewhere in town with the words "Hire Me." I believe they said the woman's name is Holly. Does anybody know this couple? I have not seen this billboard anywhere. And is the woman pissed that her husband did this without her knowing about it?
"Hire Me" billboard in Toledo?

There were several local news stories about it. One of the local channels (WTOL, perhaps?) interviewed her, and she didn't seem upset.
The husband is a Lucas County sherrif deputy.
Apparently she was the director of the MBA program at University of Toledo until she was laid off.
Found a few of the articles from last week...

From what I can tell in the media coverage, it looks like she's trying to stay in academia and/or corporate education.
I suspect that narrow focus could be more of an issue than the UT MBA itself.
She may have greater opportunities in her area of interest elsewhere. Of course, with her husband being a sherrif's deputy, she's probably not interested in expanding her job search beyond the local area.
They must be doing well financially.These billboards run between $5k-$10k per month.
Hmmm.
Visits the White House in 2010.
Laid off in 2011.
Speaks volumes about visiting the White House?

Oh.... ok. You didn't read the articles.
Here:
This guy spent a total of $700 because he rented an electronic billboard with a rotating message for less than $100 a day and the outdoor companies worked with him due because they were moved by his effort.
Saw this story on the FoxNews website a little over a week ago, so the billboard got some national coverage as well.
