My education and training has been as a computer engineering, but for the last half-dozen years I've been working as a project manager. I have recently accepted an invitation to join the team at Geosign of Guelph, Ontario.
As a project manager? Nope.
Engineer? Nope.
Programmer? Nope.
I'm going to be their Blogmaster!
Geosign has been very successful in the world of online publishing:
Geosign’s publishing division operates over 150 websites that provide consumers with information and access to products across 15 broad themes. Our websites offer information on everything from electronics, education, home and garden to travel, fitness and fashion. With more than 35 million visitors to our sites each month, we’re quickly becoming a global leader in online publishing.
To help engage their readership as contributers as well as consumers, blogs are appearing on many of their sites (among them, Gizmo Cafe, ThinkFashion, Diet Nation and Fitness Gear 101), and my role will be to contribute what I can from my experience as a blogger (as well as by developing many new skills through my new job) to make these new communities a success.
Intriguing, eh? By the way, Geosign is still looking for editors and web designers and link ninjas (easily the hands-down best job title I've seen in a while) for the publishing division, as well as positions with the Domains group and others. It's all on the Careers page.
Wish me luck! (And if you know anyone interested in leasing a four-bedroom detached home in Ajax in a two-year rent-to-own deal, let me know).
