Here's what I've learned in my short time looking for employment.
1. The economy really sucks (so what they are saying on CNN and FOX News is true).
2. San Francisco seems to have good companies that are looking for good people - but getting the two together is not so easy.
3. Lining up a contracting gig is probably a lot easier than landing something full time.
So, I'm thinking of pursuing contracting work in the short term (3-12 months). Does anyone have any thoughts, feedback, advice on the whole contractor v. full time employee options?
Also - today I paid a visit to some colleagues in the city. Seeing as I didn't need to be there by any particular time (except for lunch), I decided to ride my bike into the city. I parked my car just north of Sausalito and hopped on my bike. I rode through Sausalito, across the GG Bridge, through Crissy Field, down past the Aquatic Center, through Fisherman's Wharf, and up the Embarcadero to the Financial District. What a ride! It took just over 1 hour and the weather was perfect. I took a video with my Blackberry, but it didn't do it justice (as soon as I figure out how to upload it, I will).

ReplyDeletereally impressed with blogging your underemployed journey. for some that would take a very brave step. but for you, another example of who you are and how well you collaborate.
the appeal of twitter is an enigma to me as well.
