Get A Web Design Job: Accomplished.
A few weeks ago I posted a blog about my ideal work environment. I ended it by saying "If I blog it, it will happen." Well, it happened, so there ya go.
Well, it didn't EXACTLY happen as I blogged it. There is not a a workout room (unless a nerf basketball hoop suctioned to a dry erase board counts). There's no pool. There is not a rooftop patio, although there is a collection jar for a "retractable rooftop" which seems to have roughly $5-$10 in it at any given time. It also doesn't have a Mexican restaurant with great happy hours and I'm completely shocked because really, what office doesn't have at least that these days???
I got a job at a web design company that specializes in search engine optimization (SEO). I've been there approximately a month and have already learned a few very useful things and put into practice a lot of tools and lessons that I haven't used in quite a while. I also have a longer list of things I want to learn better and brush up on, which is a good thing. So, all in all, I stand by that statement.
"If you blog it, it will happen." (Or perhaps the real lesson is, "If you clearly define what you want, it helps you know what to look for and how to communicate that, which also improves your chances of getting what you want.")
I hope you are looking forward to exciting articles about search engine optimization. Don't laugh, I'm being serious.
