So, who out there has heard of LinkedIn? I got an email about this site ages ago and created an account on a whim to see what it was. It's been sitting, stagnant for months. So today I decided that since I obviously have acres of free time (oh how I wish this was true) I would mess with it a bit and try to update certain parts of my profile. Then I realized that I really don't know what to say about myself and what I do at all. I feel like my whole profile is a series of bullet points.
-data entry into KeEMu database
-scanning of images of specimens from Operation Crossroads (1946-47)
-creation of archival (tiff) and diminutive (jpeg) files
-blah blah blah, blah blah
While I find this whole social networking/job search scenario interesting. I like the concept, but I am not sure how effective this will actually be in the long run. But what can it hurt? It seems like a fairly useful tool, and if it doesn't actually end up getting me a job, at least I can ask other people about museums in their areas. Much better than cold calling a museum out of the blue, at least in my case. Now I just need to get over my bullet point issue.
In other news. I have the cuff finished on my second sleeve! I'd have more done if I hadn't left the needles I need for the main section of the sleeve at the house yesterday. But I'll have some time while I'm on public transit today and tomorrow.
So now that I have this bit of internet procrastination out of my system (I swear, I was working before I stopped for the LinkedIn break!) I am off to research, dig through collections, and rewrite, rewrite, rewrite.
Wish me luck!
