With pleasure! During my last interview, the interviewer chided me for not including it on my resume when I mentioned it in passing.

I’ll write about it this weekend. I’m trying to focus on technical content during the week and health / personal content during the weekends.

And I’m glad I could be inspirational! Thanks so much for sharing your plan Anangsha Alammyan about building up a side income.

I actually have a lot of interesting work stories for being only 31. I’m on my at least my third professional career (web developer → scientist → massage therapist → physical therapist → web developer → technical writer), depending on how you count it.

And that’s not counting my strength coaching certification or the fact that I usually DJ paid gigs about twice a year, nor the recent acting work.

Think I should write about it? I graduated high school at 15, college at 19 with a master’s, and recently got on Medicaid (government health insurance assistance) because I’m broke and sort-of unemployable, haha 😄
