I’m trying to get some database work done, but I’ve had too many interruptions between quick user questions and vendor phone calls. I think I’ve started over on this three times now, and it’s not necessarily anything difficult, it’s just hard to…
More reading on using networking as part of your job search. I’ve been reading a book about networking and going through all the self-awareness practices myself lately, so this is timely stuff. (BTW, another great use for OneNote, keeping all my notes and exercises on networking and self-awareness together in one section of the program..)…
