NEW JOB & A NEW SITE!

I freely admit I won't be posting here for a little while as I've been working on a TSWblog for The Secret World and in addition, just landed a new job!

I'll still be playing, WoW, though, so the occasional post might pop up, but it won't be on a consistent regular basis while I'm trying to get things started in work and on the new blog.

THE GOLDRUSH CONTINUES...

I'm on fire!!!

Started the week with 21K and am sitting on the cusp of busting the 50K mark! I've hit records this week, by hitting the 25, 30 and 40K marks this week and to be honest, I barely noticed 30K as I raked in 20K in the first two days!

20K from Jewelcrafting in 2 days!

Okay, so it's definitely been a while since I've posted, so forgive me -- moving takes a lot of out you in addition to searching for a job / new career!

This one will be a quick post to catch you up on what I've doing.

As you may remember, I had just reached Level 75 on my second alt and was considering Jewelcrafting (JC) for my next max'd level profession. Well, I can safely say it was the right choice!

In the last two days, I have woken up to over 10K in sales each morning! How, you ask? By making the most out of what I'm doing. Starting with...

GETTING GAMIFIED: A Brief Survey for Gamers - URGENT!

I am working on a proposal to a major global corporation regarding what is missing from their stores, for gamers. Please share this link with as many gamers as you know, as I need to gather information / statistics on gamers to bring in my report!

1) How many computers do you own? What types? Desktops? Laptops?

2) How many monitors do you own?

3) What other computer accessories do you buy specifically related to gaming (mice, keyboards, external hard drives, etc.)? Where do you buy them from?

4) What other technology products do you tend to buy? Cell phones? Tablets?

Thank you so much! Hoping it will help me land a new full-time career!

YATTA! MAXING ANOTHER PROFESSION @ 75

Now that my second alt has FINALLY reached Level 75, it is time to max another profession (I have already max'd Tailoring and Enchanting on my 85 main).

I decided to choose Jewelcrafting and Mining, despite not wanting to make this specific alt my "fastest flying" (310% speed).

GETTING GAMIFIED: WHY THE CORPORATE WORLD SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO GAMERS


In the last few months, I have redefined my chosen career path and have been busy networking and exploring new opportunities that may have been previously disregarded. I have made new, exciting network connections that only spurn my desire to explore my options further. Despite the process not being foreign or "new" to me (that of a job search), things are definitely different this time around. I could attribute it to my ever-increasing age; which, according to most, brings growth in wisdom and knowledge. I could attribute it to my lovely fiancee and say she has finally grounded me so that I can root myself in and "get it work." However, I feel that it is very simply put how and why little things are different and better. I got "gamified."
