I’m sure that’s fine in a warm climate, but my water is way too cold this time of year.

When I'm boiling water I run the tap till it gets hot cause I don't wanna wait longer for it to boil.

Easily 3-4 times faster than boiling the normal way. Bought it for coffee but now use it for cooking too.

Thanks, TH. The hiring manager for this particular job requested a video of my answering a few questions she fielded to help me further-differentiate myself from the other applicants. That's why I put so much into it. But I put that level of effort into every job I apply for - researching the company's history, working their required skill sets and mission statements into my cover letters, etc. I thought that was a bare-bones requirement to be considered for any job.

The radio gig is a really nice thought. I'd recently explored hosting a podcast as I prefer to be able to revise and edit my content rather than be on the spot in real-time. And radio is a dying media so I doubt I could find a career in that field. Especially given my specialization. No one needs another ambient podcast in 2023. But I appreciate the sentiment.

Thanks for asking, ribbons. I'll summarize my methodology as briefly as I'm able. For the past 24 years, I worked as a prepress designer, book editor and designer, technical support analyst, and app publisher.

I developed a paperless workflow automation system for a law firm and trained their team on how to utilize the software. I also created a rebrandable mobile time card app and payroll system. But I have no coding knowledge and having been out of the design field for the last 6 years, I am no longer sufficiently competent to work in those areas, so I'm seeking entry level work for a new career at the age of 41. I don't want to go through the stress of working temp work only to have to start from scratch again every few months, so it seems more important to focus on the more promising of the leads I find.

Below are a few highlights of my more prestigious efforts which I incorporate into various cover letters:

As a graphic designer I created an array of materials ranging from trade show displays to digital vehicle wraps and managed workflows to automate book publication. And as a media archivist I generated infographics, published quarterly reports, and created materials to highlight features of the archive. From 2013 to 2022 I authored, designed, and published a multi-volume interdisciplinary ethnomusicological treatise spanning 20th century analog classicism to contemporary digital modernity for the private archive I manage. My most recent accomplishment was to conceive and produce a cloud-based wiki for a Help Desk team which was 600 pages at launch and has grown considerably since then. I also managed a media project in collaboration with The Internet Archive to make years of independent analog radio broadcast recordings from a regional college station accessible to the entire world.

Working as an educator, I’ve developed manuals, guides, visual graphics, video, and other training materials as well as having worked directly with staff and clients to ensure rapid acclimation to newly-implemented technologies. I am detail oriented, organized, self-motivated, adept at multitasking, and love new challenges. Increasing knowledge and understanding is one of my greatest passions and I’ve worked independently to develop and deliver lectures and informational graphics to share cost and time-saving technology solutions with the community. I’m hopeful that I can use these skills to benefit your team.

Stress and anxiety were major issues at my last IT job, so I'm strictly seeking fully-remote work for what I hope will be my final career for the next 20 years until retirement. My email-notified automated search queries on Indeed and LinkedIn are for fully-remote entry-level data entry and similar jobs. But as I mentioned yesterday most of the results are identical cubicle farm postings.

The greatest challenge when I target remote work is that I'm competing with hundreds of applicants from around the country so I really need to differentiate myself with each application.

If anyone has any suggestions for how to change my plan of attack, I'd appreciate any insights. Thanks!

Well, having spent the better part of 2020-2021 trying to find work in my field, I gave up and am now doing remote data entry and logistics for my wife's company.
It's ridiculously mundane but the pay is decent and I can easily enjoy a movie or some music while roboticly typing away.

I'd been in Consumer Electronics Engineering and Project Management the previous 35 years.



Not much of an Eng. market these days for someone in their 60s who requires remote work.

At least I'm still in CE.

I want to do data entry but I don't want the low ball wages of the IRS out here. Their building is literally infested with rats and bats making nests with the back log of tax forms just laying out because they can't afford filing cabinets.

Edit: I'd probably miss the comradery that hard labor builds between coworkers, though.

Went to the store with my mom today and we made stuffed shells. We thought they were going to be smaller shells but they expanded after boiling and it turned out great. Even got to bring some shells home but it was a nice day. At first, we thought we would have to use manicotti shells but thankfully a store in Clinton, CT had jumbo shells; I guess there is a jumbo shells pasta shortage. So we drove all the way there and got them, then made the meal. Now Im staying up late tonight working on the Ethereum shanghai upgrade for the next blog. Oh yeah it started to snow today too, here is a photo of the car while snowing.
