Day 4 - not very productive

Followed "the routine":

• Check job posting alerts (and apply for any matches)
• Check e-mail
• Catch up on tweets, LinkedIn and Facebook
• Update blog

Woke up feeling like crap this morning - makes for an unproductive day.

I tweaked the resume some -- still needs "less" as some upload filters seem to be messing it up.

I worked on my self-assessment (this is a very long questionnaire/document - will take 8+ hours to complete) some more today. I do not want to just "do it" all in one session.

Got another hit this morning; unfortunately, it was the same position TJ (@tj_jaeckle) had given me on Wednesday. I let the recruiter know that I was already working with another recruiter on this position, but that if he had others, please pass them along.

As a hiring manager myself, one thing that will get a resume tossed is if I get it from two recruiters. That puts us both in bad spot. Be involved enough with your recruiter(s) to not let yourself be there.

Speaking of TJ - he did touch base and let me know my resume was being reviewed and he would follow up with more.

Since I know I do not socialize well when my head is pounding, I decided not to go to the Happy Hour tonight - remember - only one first impression, I need to be on my game.

Other:

Moved the beer from primary ferminting to secondary. It is a little darker than I expected, but it smells great! We should bottle in the next 5-7 days if all is well.

Rented a boat for the day next Wednesday on Lake LBJ. The kids, the folks and I are going to go look at the Lake and some houses from the "water side". Should be fun -- mark this down as a vacation day (yes, it is actually on my calendar).
