Magic Pot of Jobs

So there I was, crammed around a small table at a recruiting event, there’s conversation going on around me, and the candidate I’m talking with is soft spoken with a thick accent. And I haven’t eaten in hours, so my blood sugar is low. I space out for a second, and suddenly I am faced with an uncomfortable realization:

The candidate has just asked me a question and I have no idea what she’s said for the last minute and a half.

Shit.

I need a sandwich and a nap.

I’ll be at the DC Web Women’s Networking and Résumé Consultation Mashup on Wednesday, November 9th to give hints and advice. My employer is sponsoring the event and it will be held at our offices.

The Mashup is cheap! Only $10! And it’s open to the public, so I hope to see you there.

I’m at Webzine 2005 this weekend. I’m there partially for Metroblogging, in which I am an active participant, but I’m also looking forward to learning some new stuff for my own projects, including this one.

Besides that, Philip Kaplan is going to be there. I discovered FuckedCompany in 2000, when I was working for a startup as my first job out of college, and so in my mind, Pud is the archetypal Internet Celebrity.

I so want my picture taken with him. I am a drooling fangirl.

Anyway, Tom and I will be guestblogging at Metroblogging San Francisco while we’re there, and you’ll probably see some stuff posted to The Ankle Biter while I’m at it, with hopes of some more polished stuff showing up here. Meanwhile, I’ll be doing a little networking as well, since my company has just been asked to find a graphic designer for a client’s Berkeley location, and we don’t have an office in San Francisco.

Stay tuned…
