Work Stuff: CV Blues and Good News
I haven’t managed to bill any hours yet today. I just spent a number of hours updating my CV. Talk about boring! I did it so I could send it on to my uncle and hopefully get some more work from his press. But, I’m jazzed that it’s done now, and should capitalize on the fact that it’s finally current by shooting it off to a bunch of publishers—Which means cold calling. Which I hate. I am pleased to note that after nearly three years of freelancing, I have a sizable number of projects under several impressive categories to boast about. That first year on my own, my CV didn’t look that hot. Now it sort of does.
I also learned that because I’m on the development team for one book, the client will most likely keep me on the team for every book in the three-book series. That means (almost) gauranteed work until into 2008! Music to my financially insecure ears. Here’s to never working corporate again!
