It’s been about 2 weeks since I started . Time to take a deep breath. I found a number of jobs that were good matches for me. Nothing overwhelming, some ok, but with no obvious disqualifications – no requests for over 10 certifications and a preference for ex-CIO’s of a Fortune 500 company.
I was (and still am) doing some initial fact finding on the big boards. So after this time, where am I?
The overview: The big boards are like drinking from a fire hose (actually more like from Niagara Falls) – way too much information! Admittedly as an overview, this is like a view from the moon…and what can you say about the earth from the moon view - it’s round and it’s blue (mostly).
I’m stating the obvious. (Reader…do you have a job out there for someone with this as a key skill? I’m available!)
Kidding aside, I have spotted some areas for metrics and done a review of the options on two of the big boards so I can compare them. I can use these comparisons as rating scales going forward. I have, I think, enough to plan forward! Using the moon metaphor, feel I am adequately prepared to re-enter the earth’s atmosphere and start looking at a lower level (say 30,000 ft.).
I grabbed my pencil and a napkin (aren’t these usually done on napkins?) and drew a flow diagram, wordsmithed the results and voila!
I have a PLAN!
