Dear Readers,
Apology:
If you follow me on Twitter or Linkedin, you might have noticed my status updates about some serious troubles that we’ve been having with this website.
Shortly after posting my previous article on Geek Excuses for Bad Presentations a few weeks ago, this website has been hacked, as have numerous other WordPress sites hosted by NetworkSolutions.com. I caught the problem within the first few days, but unfortunately some visitors to this site might have gotten a Trojan Horse virus.
If you visited this site in the last month or so, and do not have an anti-virus software installed on your computer, please download www.avast.com (the Free version works great) and check your computer for viruses!
I sincerely apologize to those of you who might have been affected by this issue! My website hosting company assured me that they are doing everything possible to prevent any hacking attacks in the future.
Giveaway:
So as a way of saying “I am sorry for any troubles this website glitch might have caused you” I am giving away 5 Successful Unemployment Toolkits absolutely FREE!! My Toolkit is completely downloadable, so 5 lucky winners will be able to start increasing their professional value as soon as they receive the download link!
How to win: In order to win you need to be a subscriber to my blog/newsletter updates (you can subscribe on the side bar on the right) AND either follow me on Twitter OR be my contact on Linkedin (if you’re currently not a contact, just send me a request to join my network).
I will send the download link to FIRST 5 people who fit the above criteria and who respond to me either by direct message on Twitter or Linkedin!
One entry per person please! Good luck!
Update:
I have just come back from a week-long Speaking Tour sponsored by the American Chemical Society. I got a chance to tour the beautiful state of Wisconsin and give 6 talks in 5 days. Remember my advice on speaking on any subject of interest to you, not just topics in your technical area? I try to practice what I preach, so here are the 4 topics I covered during this tour:
“A Wife, a Mother, and a PhD”
“Economic Crises and the Need for Computer Modeling”
“Importance of Perception, or Why You Should Care What People Think”
And of course, “10 Steps to Increasing Your Professional Value”
I am currently trying to figure out how to make some of the videos of these talks available to my readers, so stay tuned!
Cheers,
Masha
