			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sixteen days ago, I read a blurb about <a href="http://emurse.com/">a new resume hosting site called emurse.com</a>.  Being the early adopter that I am (except when adopting a blog, apparently), I signed up to make sure that I could get my preferred username; there are a lot of C. Finkes out there vying for the obvious six-character login.</p>
<p>So I input <a title="My resume at emurse" href="http://cfinke.emurse.com/">my information</a>, and promptly bookmarked the <a href="http://emurse.com/stats/">statistics page</a> to observe my imminent rise to the top (which, thanks to a <a href="http://digg.com/software/Emurse_Create_and_Track_Your_Resumes#c2300411">digg post</a>, actually happened).  Later that evening, I mentioned to my wife <a href="http://cfinke.emurse.com/">my brand-spankin-new resume website</a>.  She asked, &#8220;Why would you do that? You&#8217;re not looking for a new job.&#8221;  My response was (as it often is), &#8220;Why not?&#8221;</p>
<p>Fast-forward 5 minutes (an unnecessary fast-forward, perhaps), and my GMail account is boasting that beautiful &#8220;(1)&#8221; in the title bar that lets me know that I&#8217;m not alone in this dark dark world.  It turns out that while my wife was questioning my use of online time, <a href="http://www.alexrudloff.com/">Alex Rudloff</a> (emurse.com creator and Netscape developer) had seen my resume and thought that maybe I might be interested in applying for an open software development position at Netscape.  And maybe I was.  I mean, I was.</p>
<p>So one &#8220;Why not?&#8221; and sixteen days has brought me to a new job, for which I&#8217;m very excited.  I&#8217;ll be part of a team working on the new Netscape.com, and eventually, Netscape browser-related stuff.  Working for and by myself was nice, but then again, human contact is nice too.</p>
