Google Me!
Posted by Stuart at 07:07 PM on October 13, 2004Regular readers of this website might be surprised to hear the next bit of news from my life: I just sent in a resume for a project management / business analyst job. The company office I am applying to is in San Francisco, but the job will be in... Singapore!
Even though I wasn't actively job hunting, this opportunity comes from an ex-colleague of mine and I just can't pass it up. The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
I haven't sent out a resume for over two years, which is also the same amount of time that I have had this website. I have to admit it is a strange feeling to know that the chances are fairly high that the good folks at the previously mentioned company will "Google" my name. And when they do, this site is the number one result.
It's not that I really mind them coming here, as looking at my website would probably give them a better picture of who I am than any 30-minute interview would. At least it might give them a better idea of my personality, but probably not of my Project Management skills. It's just a little strange to realize that it still might play some role in the decision process.
I guess all I can say is at least I am not applying for an Information or Graphic Design position. This website is hardly the epitome of clever design. But it is mine, and the content here does say something about who I am and what I have been doing the last two years.
So... to those of you who just Googled me. Welcome!
I usually refer to Singapore as Singaypore since the country is so closeted.
That was in the days when I 'thought' Australia was progressive on gay rights issues - not anymore!
Hey Stu.... sorry it didn't work out. =(. now get back to helping me plan my honeymoon.
Cool :) I think Singapore is a cool country to work in. Good luck, man (^_^)
