Resume Length
My resume does not show the job title Writer or Technical Writer much, but I have been writing as part of my job for over 20 years! One of the first jobs was the Financial Auditor position I held in 2003/2004. I was an auditor who was also responsible for writing reports of my findings. Continue reading

Observations
A few things I noticed today while searching for and applying for jobs: (1) there are very few part-time positions, (2) a lot of the Senior Technical Writer/Manager positions require a security clearance, and (3) the list of disabilities (for disclosing a disability) has grown. I saw several interesting writing jobs (a lot of them Continue reading

LinkedIn Benefit
I believe LinkedIn is good for providing additional information on a job seeker’s background – information that may not fit on a resume. My resumes are usually short. I carefully select the information to include. But my LinkedIn profile provides much more information such as additional duties performed and examples of my work (such as Continue reading

Job Search System
Months ago, I prepared a proposal for a job search system. The proposal includes requirements – both requirements statements and use cases – for a new system to assist job seekers to keep track of job applications. It was a project for a course offered by Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/analysis-for-business-systems). Here it is: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L8AdVTPip3l37GZw5-Pd_58aIoM8qoj-gbi5dfxmA3M/edit The project reminds me Continue reading

Posts On Journal Articles
I found some interesting journal articles that informed me of issues and made me think of “possibilities.” I wrote about them in LinkedIn. Here are the posts: Post 1 My issue today: automation. Just yesterday, I wrote that systems will be assisting with the creation of diagrams in software development (see post: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/07/change.html).

Company Layoffs
I noticed on LinkedIn that a lot of companies are laying off employees. This is a signal that an economic downturn may be on the way. This is unfortunate. During difficult times, people lose jobs, people earn less, people lose their homes, and so on. This is so unfortunate. I have had to deal with Continue reading

The description for the Financial Auditor position is more descriptive/detailed.I added information on data warehouse reports I assisted to develop (from the business side) to the Financial Analyst position. I should have Continue reading

Asking for Feedback
I am finally getting around to doing this. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while. I am asking for comments, feedback, suggestions, and concerns, pretty much anything you have to say on my new blog, my LinkedIn profiles, my PhD papers, or my life. Something doesn’t look right on my resume? Then tell Continue reading
FEATURED
I am working to be published.
I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.
About THIS BLOG
I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.
I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
