The New Plan
September 22, 2009 · 1 Comment
The Very Next Steps
- be specific about what industries and companies I’m going after.
- work to identify roles that I can fill, or am interested in filling. This will require some research & networking.
- work to nail down job descriptions, and the qualifications I’d need. Research & networking.
- identify ALL the companies that I should be targetting. Research. Check their career pages. Set up auto searches.
- send out CVs. Keep networking and checking job postings.
Some Thoughts
Smart Grid / Advanced Metering / Electric Car Infrastructure
- wireless network engineer: designer, optimizer. Operations?
- project manager
Renewable Energy
- I don’t know, but take another look at the LOCAL industry, find any opportunity to get either PM experience or power tech experience
- be open minded; don’t snort at manufacturing or system integrator or installation work
NGOs
- I don’t know, but try to network or cold-call my way in, and solicit opinions on where I can use my powers for good (& make a living)
- Maybe to work for an NGO, maybe to use them for advice, networking.

Hmmmm…I’ve had some of the same thoughts about NGOs. If I ever got the opportunity, I’d pursue work in that field.
