Goal: Freelance or sell an article

Goal: Get freelance work or sell an article to a magazine.
By: May 4, 2008 (my 31st birthday)

Notes:
Selling a craft design does not count.
The point is to add something to my resume.

I’m a winner

Got a notice this week that I won a regional award from The American Society of Business Publication Editors. It’s only a regional award, not a national one. Still it’s nice to win. The winning article is about combination products The Best of All Worlds

There is no cash prize associated with this award, though I get a plaque for my wall. I won the same award in 2001.

I’m glad to cross another thing off my list of things to do in 2007 "Do something at work worthy of adding to my resume"

UPDATE: I'm revising this goal a little, I wasn't making progress by taking classes at lunchtime, so I found an online course with classes once a week.

Goal: Take online classes once a week from About.com's free email class.

Week 2: Completed the second class Aug 1

Career Goals

Had to write my annual review so here are my goals as of 3/31/05

Write another award-worthy (and hopefully award-winning) technical article.
Aug 9 Done. FES article is award-worthy. Other articles have improved greatly in quality.

More managerial responsibilities
Aug 9 I'll call this one done too. I've been supervising Leslie and Mary a little.

Work more in eMedia (such as knowing how to design a newsletter, or web page; knowing more than basic html)
I'm going to include this goal in my Photoshop goal.

update on goals:

resume is done.
paying off credit card debt.
didn't catch the sunset in June.
haven't written any songs.
met up with some friends, need to visit Liz and Christian.

Maybe I should make it clear that I am not looking for a new job, just updating the resume. :)
