Pretty good morning job searching…

Of course it’s only sending out applications. But at least there were companies requesting the applications.

The proof will be if any of these applications generate follow-ups.

I’ve also taken a look at creating a personal web site to augment the job search. Many companies seem obsessed with their employees having a social media presence. I’m not into social media, so I’m thinking that perhaps a website would be a way to split the difference. 

I’ve noticed that most recruiting sites have places to link your personal web page. So I figured I’d give it a try.

I don’t really like social media because it’s a time suck. In order to have a robust social media you have to have been at it for a while or send updates at minimum daily. I don’t have that much interest or time. Generally speaking, I’d rather be actually living keeping my phone in my back pocket instead of fiddling with it all day long.

It’s interesting that many people with my same model phone often complain about the battery life, while I have no trouble at all with the battery in my phone lasting almost 2 solid days. The only difference is that my phone is usually in my pocket instead of lit up all the time.

I like technology and I use it, but I don’t live on it.

I don’t think it’s an age thing. I think of it as a values thing.
