[2022-05-24 02:37:19 PM] : i could maybe use a little advice. i decided to start looking for a new job. i don’t want to quit my current job before finding new one, so unfortunately i can’t announce to my podcast, email list, etc. that i’m looking for a new job. so i’m wondering in what ways i can make use of these assets i’ve built up over the years - podcast, blog, email list, conference talk history, etc.
any ideas on how i can get the most value out of these things without “outing myself” to my boss prematurely? what i’ve been able to come up with so far is that i can at least list these things on my resume and reach out to the people i’ve met in the course of doing my podcast, speaking at conferences, etc. i can’t imagine that there’s much more i can do but maybe other people have some ideas that i’m not thinking of. any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[2022-05-24 04:17:27 PM] : that’s a good idea
[2022-05-25 02:01:48 PM] : Maybe... figure out your ideal job
[2022-05-25 02:02:07 PM] : and then see if someone you've interacted with or someone on your list can help
[2022-05-26 10:19:09 AM] : might be a good idea too. “ideal job” is a little tough. i don’t really have an ideal job in mind nor do i expect to be able to come up with one, but i can obviously come as close as i can
[2022-05-27 03:07:16 PM] : I agree with asking specific people. I got my new jobs lined up by asking rather than looking/applying, back in the day
