5.5.11 - Some Progress On Resume and LinkedIn Profile

I've finally made some progress on my resume and my LinkedIn profile. I don't know why these tasks are taking so long, why I have such resistance to getting them done, but there you have it. The upside is that I'm pretty sure I've learned my lesson. Going forward, I will make it a very high priority to document the business results of my work.

One remaining task on the LinkedIn profile is to complete the summary section. This is my opportunity to really explain what it is that I am about, which is a difficult task for me. One thought I have is to enhance whatever it is that I put up there with a blog, which I can then import to my LinkedIn profile. Three or four insightful pieces should do wonders to make me look like I really know my shit, which as a matter of fact I do. Upgrading to a paid account and then actually getting the PMP cert should lock things up and put me solidly over the 100K mark, at least for contract roles. So, that's pretty much what I need to do.

Too Much Going On

I have too much going on right now and the big problem with this is that I am procrastinating on the one thing that I really, really need to get done, which is my resume and the rest of my LinkedIn profile. With a more fully optimized resume that reflects who I really am and what I'm about, I should be able to get a job of some sort here in the next few weeks. Once I get a job and some stability, then I can start focusing on the long-term strategic approach. But for now, I am going tactical, which means I need to get myself in the running for some contracts, and do so pronto.

Here is my to-do list in order of priority:

1. Resume/LinkedIn
2. PMP Application
3. Boot Camp Assignments
