Loving my new job.
8 MaySometimes, things work out really well.
I’ve just been hired by one of my favorite software services. Ace of Sales is a CRM and email newsletter service that simplifies self-marketing.
I am the new Marketing Ace for Ace of Sales. This position involves some of the activities I enjoy the most: creating valuable content (ebooks, how-to videos, and ezines) and tracking the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
For the next few months, I will be working a heavy part-time load for Ace of Sales, but I will still have the bandwidth to work with a few clients as a Digital Producer for Pura Vida MultiMedia.
If this works out well, I will transition over to Ace of Sales full time.
You’ve been given notice!
If you wanted to hire me someday, sooner is better than later.

Looking for a Job.
18 AprWhile I love running my web design business, in difficult economies, there are cycles of feast and famine.
If the ups and downs were my burden alone to bear, I would cheerfully spend the occasional month eating toast and build my business over the long haul.
Being the primary breadwinner for a large family means those ups and downs affect those that I love, those who depend on me.
To provide more stability for my family, I am making the shift from managing multiple projects with multiple clients, to providing outstanding digital production services for one client, full-time.
I’m actively on the hunt, so if you know anyone who is looking for a dynamite digital marketer, please forward my information to them.
I’ve got a Video Resume Cover Letter here:
http://caelanhuntress.puravidamultimedia.com
I’m looking for an ongoing relationship with a company that needs continual content generation, across multiple digital platforms. My production capabilities are listed in detail on my resume, accessible through the link above.
I’m really excited for what’s coming next. Now that I’ve honed my skills as a digital craftsman, I’ve got a well-stocked toolbox that I can use to promote a message and engage with an audience in lots of fun ways.
The clients I have now will still get excellent work on their current projects as I complete them, and depending on the job that I acquire, I may be able to keep some of my favorite clients on the side.
The prospect of regular, reliable income fills me with a satisfaction that will surely carry over into an amazing level of dedication to my new employer.
Whomever they may be….

No te preocupes.
9 AprDon’t you worry your pretty little self.
This is not an exact translation, but I like to think it provides the character and inclusiveness of this phrase.
See, here in Costa Rica, nobody uses the informal case. When people say “You,” they say “Usted,” which is like saying “The Gentleman.”
“Tu,” the 2nd-person informal use of “You,” is generally not used in Costa Rica. Unless, someone says to you kindly,
No te preocupes.
Ticos will step out of their formality in order to make you feel more at ease, and not just in the wording of this phrase, but in the context.
I love that.

The Costa Rica Cabalgata
1 AprDeep in rural Costa Rica, there is a monthly trail ride known as the Cabalgata. During this event, hundreds of people meet in the morning, drink beer and eat while showing off their riding gear. Then, they ride for an hour into the mountains, stop and eat and drink more. A bit more riding, followed by another stop, more eating and drinking…you get the idea.
It’s an all-day party on horseback.
I didn’t ride any horses. I opted to tak some amazing photos of this slice of Tico life that most Gringos don’t normally get to see.
