Hello escape artists!

I missed you this month — it was really strange not to be talking with you! But I’m excited about two new things — one that’s already here, and one that’s on it’s way.

First, I’m offering a new service focusing on helping you write job materials — master resumes, targeted resumes, and cover letters. It’s something I’ve done in bits and pieces for a while, but now it’s got a shiny new streamlined process. I’m also focusing more on master resumes, which I believe are foundational for long-term career success. If you want to know more about the service, click here.

Second, I’m doing a massive overhaul of the resources section of the site. Some of it is outdated, and I want them to be much more robust for people at different stages of the process. I had intended to get them done in February as well, but, as often happens to me, my reach exceeded my grasp. So that’s going to be March’s project! If you’ve got resources you’ve found that are just invaluable to your process, please share them with me in email so I can include them.

That’s about all the news that’s fit to print around here. Regular blog posting commences now, and I look forward to being back in the writing groove.

best,
Julie

Hey escape artists!

I’m going to take a little break from the blog while I keep cooking up some fun stuff behind the scenes. I’ll be back on March 1 with a roundup of the February news.

A few announcements to my readers:

• The blog is going to go on a wee holiday break, and will return on Monday, January 3, 2011. (You have no idea how happy I am that 2011 is in sight!)
• In February, Jo VanEvery and I will be offering a class on choosing your career consciously, whether you want to stay in academia or find something else. We’ll be announcing more in early January — and you can sign up here to make sure you get the info!

Whatever your religious and cultural persuasion, have a lovely darkest-days-of-winter holiday (assuming the Northern Hemisphere!).
