After working seven years supporting CRM systems, I've spent time with salespeople and picked up their lingo. Buzz words like sales process, sales stage, and opportunity pipeline. A jobsearch is essentially a multi-stage sales process: it involves multiple opportunities, each progressing at different pace, with appointments, email chains. And with a lot of opportunities in the hopper, it can be hard to keep track of. You need a tool. You need a job search Trello board! Wait what is that??  I've looked for jobs before. I've lost weight on Weight Watchers before. Sharing some lessons learned from WW that can be helpful in job search. And an excuse to try my hand at writing clickbait. My goal for the week was to improve the web-facing aspects of my job search. I started this website two years ago, the last time I was job searching, and thought I could do a quick update. Well, twelve person hours and many updates later, I now feel like it is in a better place. The critical eye of time is harsh. I hope that it is now simpler, easier to navigate, and with better images. I did add one web page to the site, the Other Jobs page. It's a listing a selection of the random summer, high school, college jobs and a sentence about what I learned from each. After talking with friends who grew up in India or Europe, it seems that it is a uniquely American phenomenon for a person to have 5-15 smaller jobs before the get the first "real" job. I think its a huge benefit for anyone to work a variety of jobs. Do you agree? Disagree? In lieu of a full blog post, I'm posting the link here.

This is a list of software, programs, and websites that I use professionally, recreationally, and to make this website. Website: This website is built on Weebly. I chose Weebly over other website providers for no particular reason. The first pages I ever created for college homework were created in notepad by writing out html tags longhand. Thank goodness technology has improved since the 90's. Stock photos: Photos on this site are mine, Weebly template photos, or are courtesy of Unsplash. Unsplash photographers gift their photos to be used free on the web. Don't steal photos folks; it's not nice. I try to credit the photographer where possible. You can see my single photo on Unsplash here. |
