We’re about to hit the ground running, here, and I want to make sure we have the business side of things fully in place before that happens.  Since I’m already losing track of things, even though we don’t have much going on yet, I’ve been looking into studio management software, to help keep us on [...]

Part Four—Interview (continuing where http://hisandherscreative.com/blog/?p=132 left off):
Plan on getting to the building 45 minutes before the interview. This does NOT mean go into the building 45 minutes early. They won’t have a clue what to do with you. But you want to be there with plenty of time beforehand. Go past the building and then [...]

Part Three—Pre-Interview (continuing where part two left off):
So you’ve now gotten a real email address. Assuming that you’re not going through a firm or a headhunter then you still have to do some work. Just because you may be the perfect person for a job, and your resume is in the system, that doesn’t mean [...]

Continuing where part one left off:
I’m no kind of expert in cover letter. I know that in many industries the cover letter is the main means of selling yourself. If you are looking for a job where you will be writing for much of your livelihood, you need to do whatever it is with your [...]

A friend of ours has been in-between jobs for a couple of weeks now and, while he was looking for work for himself, he decided to put together this guide for others. He has graciously agreed to let me post it here, in case any of our readers might benefit from what he has [...]

A blogger I follow was wondering how to capture streaming audio from the internet, and I told him I’d look into it for him.  (Hi Tim!)  I found many options for both Mac and Windows users, and thought I’d pass them along.

I also stumbled across some video-capture programs while I was searching, so I’ll probably [...]

I’m not really a big text messager, but occasionally it seems to be the easiest way to get a message to somebody.  I’m pretty fast with the keypad on my phone, even though I don’t do it all that often, but Clint is pretty much agonizingly slow with his.  In any event, whether you’re fast [...]

We had an FTP freak-out here tonight.  If Clint had been working on something besides his Dad’s blog, it could have been a pain in the neck because we’d have had to either transfer everything to my laptop, or upload over the network—which just seems like a really bad idea, not to mention slow.
Our versions [...]

Ever send an email that you wish you hadn’t?  I know I have. . . .
When it’s late, and I’m tired, it’s just SO much easier to hit “send” than it is to re-read the email again, and while I could wait until morning, when I’m more clear-headed, anybody who knows me will tell you [...]

I just found Thumbalizr.com tonight, and I’m really glad I did.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll be surprised at just how often you can make use of a thumbnail image of a website.  I find myself using them all the time, and Thumbalizr makes it even easier for me.
Basically, you go to the website and [...]
