Yes, Trello has an Android an IOS App.
It's great. Download and use it. No further instructions needed. :) User story: As a job seeker I get job leads via email. And I don't always want to deal with them immediately if I'm obsessing about another opportunity. But I don't want to forget either. I want to just forward emails to Trello, and let Trello set up the card.
And Trello will do that for me! Just need to spend 3 minutes to complete a few easy steps. Set it up First set up an email address for your Trello board. Click Show Menu > More > Email to Board Settings. (Click to enlarge images) 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.

My latest position ended last week. I was a contractor working as a business analyst (May 2016-present) on a Salesforce implementation project. It was a good job, I took it to improve my marketability. (OK it was close to home and comfortable too). But it is finished and I'm looking for Project-Next. So why am I starting a blog?
Anyways, I secretly hope nobody reads this blog, but thanks for reading! Happy Holidays! Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash |
