I write a lot about using your fannish and hobby skills on the job. It's sort of a big thing, what with this whole "Fan To Pro" title putting pressure on me. But there's more to using the skills from your recreation in your profession – you can use them in other "professional areas", which I'm going to talk about in the weeks to come.
Namely, I'll be writing about how your fannish, geeky, and otaku skills can also be used in your job search. It's even possible you have some skills you don't want to or can't use in your chosen career that are great to use on your job search. You probably have a lot of unappreciated talents anyway (or at least ones that you may not be great at but you can leverage)
