Stuck in the Hallway

Stuck in the Hallway
To quote Tom Petty, the waiting truly is the hardest part. Or, to use an old adage, “When one door closes, another one opens….but it’s a heck of a hallway?” I’m in the hallway. I’m currently between assignments – working on a potential freelance assignment; have a meeting for another client (which may end up being... Read more »

Creatively Procrastinating

Creatively Procrastinating
This is always the most uncomfortable part of the job search – waiting. Staying patient while continuing to not only apply to positions, but after scheduling networking sessions (both large and small), doing whatever follow-ups are needed…has always been a challenge to me. So I spend most of my time doing research, which means reading... Read more »

Well, isn't that nice ...

While I’m not a “jobs pro”, just another guy “in the trenches” of a job-search war within a really awful economy, I do try hard to make these blitherings of use to those of you out there who read this blog.  And, I’m certainly not above “ego-involvement” in it, so when The Job Stalker gets...

Oh ... ooops!

Ya know … I had something good-to-go for Monday, but it wasn’t really a “book thing” so I was iffy about using it, and then I heard from Gordon that he wasn’t going to have something ready for Wednesday, so I figured I’d use the thing I had sitting here (another “guest post”) for that. ...

Links and musings ...

Well, I’m afraid I’m going to subject you all to another round of navel-gazing, as I don’t have anything substantive (well, except for the links below … it is Friday, after all) framed up for this post.  As folks know, I’ve had a lot of consulting/freelance work come through over the past few months, and...

When the hours aren't enough ...

OK, got another dozen links for you today.  I have to tell you, though, how hard it is to keep up with the level of Twitter reading that I used to do to get at least this many stories to pass along each week!  Since a large chunk of my hours are “spoken for” these... Read more »

Collected from my recent reading ...

Photo by Jeremy Wrenn. I really wish I had some good excuses to make aside from “I’ve been busy” that I’ve not been writing in here, but that’s pretty much the core of it.  The project that was, back in December, looking to take up about a quarter of my time has almost gotten to... Read more »

Looking for some stability ...

Well, it’s nice to have a co-author on board for this blog, and I expect that Gordon will be able to keep some interesting material flowing in here.  Frankly, I’m a bit of a mess at the moment, as the project that’s taking up about a half of my time is still not a “done... Read more »

Choosing absence over pointlessness ...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hinkelstone/2765597758/ What?  It’s Friday again?  So soon?  Yeah, I missed two posts, having had nothing “bookish” to offer up on Monday nor anything “industryesque” to feature on Wednesday, and being “all full up” with billable hours on freelance/consulting projects (which is a Good Thing, of course), I opted to go silent rather than sleepily tap-dance...

Insert SEO-friendly title here ...

OK, so I’m being cranky.  However, it does bug me that most of the searches that find this blog end up pulling up pieces that the previous Job Stalker wrote, nearly two years ago!  We get a daily report on these, so I see what search terms are getting people in here, but do you... Read more »
