Frustration Friday: Promiscuity, Careers, And Pointlesness

April 1, 2011 by Steven Savage

I'd like to talk about sex.

There now that I have your attention, I'm going to inevitably disappoint you.

Oh yes, I'm going to talk about sex, but as an example and metaphor for how people handle their careers wrong. Come to think of it , that probably provokes your morbid curiosity at the very least.

And The Books Are Out!

And here we go, TWO more books on geeky and fannish careerdom!

Convention Career Connection! This is my guide to creating career events at cons, based on my analyses, experiences, and previous work. It's a 5-step guide to creating career events!
Inhuman Resources, the best of my work in the second year of Fan To Pro. This also includes my series on resumes, stereotype-fu, and career/interest intersections.

They're available in Print, ePub, PDF, and Kindle – so no matter how you read, there's a way to get the book!

Thanks to everyone who helped, and be sure to let everyone know about the books!
