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 example reports prepared at the Office of the District of Columbia Auditor).

Update Jan12

Today, I am thinking of math during high school. I recently saw an article on one of my old math teachers - Mr. Savory. For some reason, I remember sitting in one of his classes in the second teaching block learning complex numbers. He taught me complex numbers, geometry, and some other important topics/areas. He was good. I was a good student.

Math was one of my favorite subjects. I enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how to solve a complex problem. I got pretty good at it. One time, a close friend brought a problem she had been trying to solve for a while. She said some of the other girls couldn’t solve it. I actually figured it out. I am still good at math/statistics. I enjoyed the PhD-level statistics courses.

It is being cleaned today. My hair is still in braids.

Spare Time

For a long time, the Lessons Project was my hobby, i.e. what I did in my spare time. For some, sewing or croqueting is an enjoyable thing to do in their spare time. These people produce excellent work. Here is a croqueting project I completed while I was a student at Watooka Day School (an old post from my food blog).

Trips To The Library

Over 15 years ago, when I was a student at UMBC, I visited the library everyday to use the Wi-Fi to work on assignments. I was at my mother’s house. I walked to the library everyday using a shortcut - I thought of it as the scenic way to get to the library.

A nice neighbor told us about the shortcut. Maybe she noticed that I was not my best ( I was a little ill). That neighbor was very friendly and kind. I played her piano on a rare occasion when I visited.

Debates

I like debates. I grew up hearing all sorts of arguments and seeing people take different positions on issues. Sometimes I wondered why people are so biased. I recall that students at PC participated in several inter-school debates (this reminds me of Karen Renata Bonnett since she was on the debate team). I was never on a debate team. I do like debating/arguments though. One of my favorite weeks on The Lessons Project was the fallacies week - the week dealing with fallacies or errors in logic. It is all about strong arguments.

I am ready to debate a particular issue I am dealing with right now. There must be a case if there is an issue.

Interesting Books To Read

Here are two interesting books I discovered recently.
