Greeting everyone, so what’s up?

Well first “Epic Resume Go!” is basically done . . . but processing at the publishers.  Until it’s ready on all platforms, I’m not comfortable going public.  Also it’s a pain to go back and change the pages again and again.  It looks good, has a nice slick cover, and I’m pretty happy with it!

It looks like I’m going to be doing a lot more speaking at PMI – and around the Bay Area, so you might get a chance to catch me if you don’t want to come down to Silicon Valley.  Definitely enjoying getting out and meeting people!

Serdar and I are working on our seeming ever-growing cultural/media correspondence.  Get in on the latest at Genji Press.

Otherwise, gearing up for my usual events this summer – and trying to relax.  Which is not going that well because I’m me . . .

Weekly Update 5/8/2013

Sorry there, a bit behind on the updates!  So where are we?

Well first, “Epic Resume Go!” is just being formatted now, and it’s looking good.  In fact, I decided to rewrite my own resume start-to-finish to try out the techniques as I wrote them down – and it worked good.  It’s always a pain to write down advice because you might miss something – so you have to try it out with a fresh viewpoint.

So I hope to get it out this weekend!  Stay tuned!

When it launches, I’ll also be adding direct resume coaching to my services.  I have done it a bit here and there, but really wanted to codify my techniques before coaching people, beyond a few select friends and volunteers.

As noted I have a side project coming up that I’ll discuss more in detail.  Let’s say I’ll be revisiting a few things . . .

Also there will be, as noted, an expansion and improvement to Fan To Pro.  That’ll probably be early June at this rate, and I think you’ll really like what you see.

Regarding Seventh Sanctum, I just got Way With Worlds restored – sorry I forgot that folks.  I’m wondering if that might be worth a rewrite along with the site . . . which I plan to get to end of June/start of July.

 

Also, I’d note that Serdar and I are still in a multiblog dialogue you probably want to read and participate in.  Frankly, I want to keep encouraging people to participate and post on their blogs, really build a dialogue.

Site Update 4/30/2013

Hey gang, so what’s been up lately?

Well the Resume Guide is FINISHED!  I just have to get it into a publishable format, so I’m expecting it to be out around mid-month or so depending on how fast that goes.  Only issue so far seems to be converting tables . . . which I never expected to be a problem.  I use them once, so . . . we’ll see.

The guide came out pretty well.  In fact, I redid my own resume just to test it out – and it worked pretty well.  So hang in there, it’ll be out soon . . .

As noted, with the print books of the focused fandom titles out, I’m waiting to see how those do.  If you want a review copy, let me know!

Fan To Pro’s upcoming expansions, which I hinted at, seem to be all set.  It’s just a matter of putting in some new stuff and making changes, but that’ll be more near the end of May/start of June.  I think you’ll like what you see . . .

I’m gearing up for Anime North  and hope you’ll be there!  We’ve got an entire 3 hour career block, which includes Fan To Pro going back to its roots with a discussion panel, and a new guest I think you’ll enjoy!
