|My Current Lack of Subtlety
Sunday, January 17th, 2010
Hello all. I’ve mentioned this before, but for the past two-and-a-half years I’ve been looking for a new job and a fresh start only to be thwarted by my previous existence through either an interviewer’s inductive reasoning or just the name incongruity on a background check.
The resume background check is probably the most infuriating as it sets us up as deceivers, and consequently unworthy of employment, from the shear fact that we can’t afford to jump through the arbitrary hoops to begin with. Add to that the particulars of being in the media industry in this technological age and stealth been a complete impossibility.

I know I promised “media solutions” weeks ago in a post, but I’ve not been emotional up to it as of late. With WSJ closing its prestigious boston bureau last week and some personal toss-ups along the way, I’ve had to re-evaluate a lot of industry factors. I still believe that news reporting and development are essential to democracy, can be accomplished effectively on a living wage, and can even save the industry. I also believe that “magazine” publishers are probably the best poised to roll with the new economic realities of the industry. (magazines are in quotes for a reason that I’ll get to later.) Rest assured I may be lazy, but I am diligently so.
Now for the round robbin’…
Okay in case any of you were wondering, yes I am still obsessed with Ugly Betty, or Yo soy Betty, la fea, as it’s known around these parts. (It’s in primetime on Univision again.)
