Raison D'etre
Why am I starting a blog called “Hire Mason Wolf”? Well, I guess the simple answer is that I would like someone to hire me, and my name is Mason Wolf. Simple enough.
Currently I’m a web developer, and I really like doing it. In past careers I’ve been a teacher, a salesperson, a dishwasher, and a lab tech, plus numerous others. Each job had its pros and cons, but I’ve found that I enjoy the current one more than I liked any of the others. So, I’ve made it my goal to get really good at doing it. Hopefully future entries will show that I’m well on my way.
Having a blog will enable me to easily showcase my work and give prospective employers some sense of who I am before they ever contact me about an interview. Plus, by having a blog I can invite passersby to leave a comment if they happen to know something that might be useful to me. And just maybe I’ll be able to contribute something worthwhile for others to read.
I don’t expect this to be a particularly active blog. I’m going to spend the first few days putting together my portfolio and then after that making only infrequent updates as I happen to finish something new to showcase or when I get a new certification worth mentioning.
My fondest wish is to see this blog be short-lived. I want a new job, and once I’ve got one, I won’t have much use for this blog anymore.
