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

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

Job Options

Commencement documents
I found the 2010 UMBC Winter Commencement document online (at: https://contentdm.ad.umbc.edu/digital/api/collection/UPUB/id/7857/download).

I also traveled extensively for work. I have knowledge of travel rules and regulations. Then, there is the online review knowledge – I could prepare statistical summaries/analyses Continue reading

Design
I am happy that I used my background in website design for selection a topic for my papers. The papers were pretty good and I thought the knowledge could be applied to other things. Here I am working on websites (each blog has its own url that is pretty much a website). I made changes 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.
