Anyone into structural engineering? Any real estate agents on here understand how foundation problems affect property value, hinder sales, etc..? I'd love to have a guest blogger post on a related site. You'd get a link and mention of your business in the article/articles. The blog gets traffic and is associated with a large brand.
Job Search Tip of the Day August 4, 2012 If unsure on a career choice, consider either (1) doing the thing you love more than anything, or (2) doing the thing that you excel in, even if it's not your favorite thing. If you choose #2, keep the "thing you love to do more than anything" as a lifelong hobby.

Job Search Tip of the Day August 6, 2012 When applying for federal government jobs, you must include specific information from the ad on your resume (e.g. job title and announcement number). Thus, if you apply for 20 govt. jobs, you will have 20 separate resumes (although the other 19 will only be slight variations of the first one).

Can I use online references? "Invisible Fan has done an outstanding job wasting time on a basketball forum and posting occasionally funny moving pictures." -dandorotik
Absolutely- any type of reference is good- mine would be: "Dandorotik has done a terrific job on my resume. Without him, I might have entered into my 2nd career successfully. I would recommend him highly." - David Wesley
Job Search Tip of the Day August 9, 2012 If you have a very short-term position in your employment history that is not relevant to your job search, consider leaving it off your resume. Make sure, though, that you use the Year-Year format for your dates of employment rather than the Month/Year-Month/Year format. This will obscure a gap in employment.

Job Search Tip of the Day August 11, 2012 If the job ad states "Bachelor's degree required," and you don't have a degree, apply anyway- unless you are certain that the degree is an absolute requirement (e.g. teaching, law, etc.).

I was a civil engineering major from UT. My dad was a civil engineer who was part of the development project for the Taiwan high speed rail (HSR) train. For those that care, I rode the HSR train from Taipei to Kenting in less than 5 hours! It's a faster commute to LA to SF for sure. So, am I still considered a civil engineer? Actually I have nothing do with the discipline. To answer the OP question - I'm a Texas transplant enjoying the life in LA. Been working in the entertainment industry for around 10 years now. Would say I know more than most here about how an entertainment asset gets consumed. Feel free to ask me ANY questions about the business. On that note - the entertainment industry is notorious for networking and self accomplishment. Be careful if you want to venture to Hollywood.
