So with Convention Career Connection out, I can't seem to step away from speculating on what can be done in the con scene to help people's careers. So of course, I'm writing about it. I've decided to analyze what more can be done at specific kinds of cons (in my opinion) to help people's careers.
First up? Comic conventions.
So, Convention Career Connection is done and out. It's interesting to look back on it and reflect on things.
So far the reaction to the book from people I've talked to has mostly been “hey, what a great idea!” I'm glad to see they're such a good reaction so far, and it drives home why I did this.
It's certainly no secret here that I love software–as–a–service (SaaS). You've seen my drooling love statements about Salesforce, my predictions of the CorpTechPocalypse. It's kind of apparent I'm onboard with moving things into the clouds and services as its faster, cheaper, and let's be honest, kind of cool.
Lately I was working with the service known as Zendesk, a rather nice SaaS provider that provides, simply, a support system – tickets, knowledge bases, etc. Zendesk lets you create instant support for your company with a few minutes of setup. You can see why they've attracted some investment as of late.
