Lately I’ve been feeling like my longevity at VSA has robbed me of the intense self-analysis that can come when a job search begins. I’ve never had to suffer being laid off or fired in all the years I’ve been working so I haven’t ever had the visceral shock that particular experience can deliver. I have however found myself looking for a change in my life and have always found that starting with a resumé or career autobiography is a good way to shake some dust off.

– Observation and Analysis – Third-Party and Personal/Work-Related
Really have some interest in how some sites and content creators out there are changing. As a runner and gym junkie, I’m particularly interested to see the transformation of the Rodale sites for Men’s Health and Runner’s World.

I want to try to look at my own work and consider things I’d do differently or in the future to improve the quality of the deliverables we I oversee.
