Happy Solar New Year! My goal for this quarter is to figure out what kind of work I want to start looking for, and to put together a solid resume. To that end, I have a favor to ask. If you have any recent experience with looking for work, or any experience hiring folks, I'd like to pick your brain. If you've been looking for work or found a job, I want to know what worked for you and what didn't. If you're a hiring manager, I want to know what you look for, what kinds of questions you ask, and any other advice or ideas you may have. My initial list of questions is short, but I'm sure it will evolve as I talk to more folks. If you're up for having a chat with me, let me know and I will send you a meeting schedule link.

Boosts greatly appreciated.

I'm reviewing candidates for an open CFO position, and one of them has a Boo the Miniature, Giant Space Hamster reference in their listed email address.

This has ROCKETED them to the top of my list. Anyone who can maintain a passion for RPGs in a professional setting is golden.
