to potential employers

March 27th, 2010

For the past few months I’ve been actively looking for a new job. During that time, I’ve read a number of articles related to a person’s web presence. I’d like to say up front, this blog and other social media accounts were not set up to market myself. There are plenty misspellings and most posts are not related to programming.

Enjoy browsing around and getting to know me. I can also be found on twitter and linked in. I choose not to have a facebook page.

Beginning the Hunt

January 6th, 2010

Financial problems and surgery put a quick end to my career as a grad student. Oh well, maybe I will return to part time. Maybe I will try again for the fall of 2012.

Time to turn my attention back to my real career and find a job. I sent my first resume out this week and you can bet I will spend many hours on the job boards the next few weeks.

Wish me luck.

time off

I haven’t written anything in a while. It’s because I’m not sure what to say. So much has happened and I don’t know where my life is headed.

On the happy side, I finished the 2009 Chicago Marathon. My knee started hurting in the first 10 miles so I didn’t have the fastest time but I don’t care. I finished!
