Today I decided to get serious. I've got a "solid" background, to quote one recruiter, and yet my applications are being met with tolerance at best. Even when I chance upon a position within a couple hours of it being posted, the job is typically already closed.
So I decided to up the ante. Sure, in my personal life I'm all plugged in; I've got my blog, my twitter account, my social profile, etc. But what about my professional life. Because as much as the whole concept of being truly myself online jars with my sense of privacy, let's face it- in this economy, it's a necessity. And if there's one lesson that I have learned from my personal blogging/twittering, it's that contacts appear from the unlikeliest places.
I hope you'll enjoy my musings. I'm looking forward to us job searching together for tech writing, content development, and instructional design work. And hopefully having a few laughs along the way.
Onward and upward!
