He's a renaissance man who knows a lot about medieval times. In this week's 30 Second Pitch we're featuring Mike Stewart. The married honor's graduate has written books, taught medieval history, managed a financial trust and worked on the board of a non-profit. He also just happens to be blind. If you have a job that can utilize his skills as a researcher, analyst, educator or manager e-mail him at: We're also featuring Lisa McGarr. She most recently worked as a consultant for plastic surgery patients but was laid off. Apparently in a sagging economy face lifts are the first thing to go on someone's 'to do' list. If you have a job that can take advantage of her sales and marketing skills e-mail her at: If you've lost your job and want to be part of the pitch please e-mail your resume and information about your situation to: We'll be bringing you pitches every Thursday in the CNN NewsRoom.

What's a mom to do when she's the sole bread winner for her husband and two adorable boys and she loses her job? She does The 30 Second Pitch! Amanda Ward is a skilled account manager and is looking for work that draws on her sales skills. If you have a job for her e-mail her at: Former pro football player Alphonso Roundtree saw someone doing The 30 Second Pitch while he was eating lunch in a Texas restaurant. He thought to himself, "I should try that!" And he got in touch with us. If you think the former Miami Dolphins corner back would be set for life, after turning pro you'd be wrong. One of the misconceptions about playing in the NFL is that you'll make millions. Roundtree did make more than $150,000 his season as a pro in Miami, but he made much less than that in his years playing in the Canadian Football league. Right now he's looking for work in marketing. If you have a job for him you may e-mail him at: In the meantime if you want to be part of the pitch e-mail information about your job situation and your resume to: 30secondpitch@cnn.com October 15, 2009

If you have a job for him you may reach him at justin.drezner@gmail.com Ex-Marine Darrien Clyne also reached out to us through this blog. He's looking for work in information technology, is willing to relocate and has a can-do attitude. If you have a job for him, you may e-mail him at: dcfuture@hotmail.com.

Friday's :30 pitches reveal just how tough the job market really is. They both have tons of experience and solid resumes, but are having a tough time finding a job. But neither have lost their sense of humor along the way. You met Sue Condrin-Shields in our 1pm eastern hour on Friday.
In our 2pm eastern hour, you met Jolene Pierson Perry. She's been self-employed as a marketer and pr expert for more than 20 years. But the economy means her clients have all but disappeared.
