Day 2 - More Frustration but that's a good thing...

So - I almost hit yesterday's target of having my resume finished.  It is close and I reckon I'll have it by mid-morning.  I am going to apply to Fanscape for their Social Media Marketing Manager position- it looks right up my alley - we'll see - at this point it all comes down to fit. I still need to get through the list - I was working on a background image for andrewmccluskey.com the other day - still working on getting a groovy looking texture that conveys the idea of music but yet enables clean delivery of text - not there yet but here's where I'm at:

Musically I took another crack at Frustration today - this time at 173 bpm - pace wise it is subjectively a little slower than the 61 bpm and 199 bpm that I was playing with earlier in the week - I like this string pass too - I'm still working on the middle section and this one comes out a little short - but I'm liking the direction.

No post tomorrow morning as I'm off to write with Kelli - but back on it Thursday.

music2work2 - it had better work...

So, after more than 2 years working full time on the Kelli project - I'm looking for a new challenge. Spent the back end of last week looking at me, my life, what I have done, my skills, experiences etc and found it to be a very illuminating experience and one that actually made me feel pretty good. Of course - my resume doesn't look terribly "normal" - I don't know many other people who dropped a corporate career at the age of 30 to join a rock band in Los Angeles - but hey - I've been exposed to so much that I would never have experienced - I wouldn't change a thing.

I have managed to distill myself down into three key areas: Music, People and Technology -  I'm going to build my resume and job search around these constructs.  I will be using this blog as a tool to help me with the process - I reckon that the more open I am - the easier it is for a future employer to see whether I am a good fit.  Here are the plans for this week:

1/ Finish Resume - target end of play Monday

2/ Finish http://andrewmccluskey.com - target Tuesday

3/ New Front Page for http://music2work2.com - target Thursday

4/ Update layout of music2work2 Blog - target Friday

5/ Finish editing new piece of music: Frustration - target Friday

6/ Add CD/Album pages to music2work2 plus direct purchase links to iTunes etc - target Friday

7/ Research and possibly apply to http://fanscape.com - target Tuesday

So - let's see how far I get - oh - and music2work2 does work - I was listening to frustration while writing this and it did block everything else out - ;-)
